;Description: Demonstration on how to execute a bash script from a program and the environment parameters.
;             be sure that the script is set executable with chmod +x
;             We set an environment parameter TESTVAR to a value and read it out with the script test.sh.
;             Running the script directly doesn't display the TESTVAR value. (unless someone has defined it already)
;             It's pretty much the same as running an executable. The script must be marked as executable.
