An embodiment includes storing original environment data in a memory of a computing device, then sourcing a script in a child command shell that includes an environment variable set-up command for setting an environmental characteristic of a new computing environment associated with the child command shell. The new environment data is also stored in the memory of the computing device that defines the new computing environment associated with the child command shell. The original computing environment is then restored by terminating the child command shell and returning to the target command shell. The original environment data is compared to the new environment data to determine the differences between the two environments, and the original computing environment is then modified to match the new computing environment created by the sourced script.

Emulation of an environment set by a sourced script written in a different scripting language

The present invention is directed to a computing system which contains a plurality of subunits. Each subunit contains a computing subcomponent and a subunit supervisor subcomponent. The subunit supervisor component monitors functions of the subunit and output signals corresponding to the monitored functions. The plurality of subunits are contained within a housing. The housing contains a housing supervisor subunit which receives the output signals of each of the plurality of subunits. The supervisor subunit outputs the accumulated signals to an input/output device for monitoring the plurality of subunits and for sending commands to each subunit.
