hi,

i know that you can pass SCRIPT (shell, bash, ...) variables into other script variables
like so:

script.sh

Code:

echo test

script2.sh

Code:

VAR=`./script.sh`

echo $VAR

this should NORMALLY work (i used it with ssh connections -> VAR=`ssh user@host ./sript.sh` and it worked for me so...)
maybe you should give this a try and give some feedback

This is a slightly confused question. Javascript typically runs in a browser, and bash is usually a command line interpreter.

Maybe you can explain what you are doing and then we can figure out if it is possible.

i didn't say it was a solution... i know something like that worked for me and maybe you should try in YOUR BASH script something that executes your javascript?!
So the result of your javascript would be put in a variable which you can display on your cmd
