Set environment variable through process.env for entire script
I want to do something like what cross-env-shell does. I have a npm script like node createAccounts.js & (sleep 5 && npm start). In createAccounts.js, I set some environment variables via process.env. But these environment variables cannot be seen via the next process npm start. What can I do to retain the environment variables across commands?
node.js bash

Create a common js/json config file. Update it in the first script and read in the second.

@alexmac that's what I'm doing now but I need to eventually set the environment variables as another dependency uses them.
