Hi Animesh!

> I am trying to pass parameters from Ant to Unix shell scripts that

I asked the same question recently!

<exec executable="bash scripts which can use myVar">
   <env key="myVar" value="someValue"/>
</exec>

-- from Stefan Bodewig

or

1. you can use nested <env>s when invoking with <exec>
2. you can create the script from a template and insert the "export"  
statements
