[oclug] Script

[John Gluck]

Hi

I looks to me what you are trying to do is create an executable script that
set an env variable and then runs python.
If that's the case, the line you propose should work except that you might
need a semi-colon after the "/fud". Also, it's good to put the
#!/bin/bash
at the beginning.

Don't forget to chmod your script to make it executable.
