USING SHELL VARIABLES The Bash shell allows you to set shell variables that you can
use to help run commands or to modify the behavior of the shell. You can also
export shell variables as environment variables, which are automatically copied to
programs run from that shell when they start. You can use variables to help make it
easier to run a command with a long argument, or to apply a common setting to
commands run from that shell. Shell variables are unique to a particular shell
session. If you have two terminal windows open, or two independent login sessions
to the same remote server, you are running two shells. Each shell has its own set
of values for its shell variables
