Script1.bash:

export THIS_VARIABLE = "Hello world"
echo "Script one says $THIS_VARIABLE"
./script2

Script2.bash:
echo "Script two says $THIS_VARIABLE"


Explanation:
Use "export" to push it to the environment


To pass variables between SH scripts you either need to export them into
the environment or you could use STDOUT to STDIN but that's just not
viable for simple scripts really.  You could also just do something like

Script1.bash:
THIS_VARIABLE = "Hello World"
echo "Script one says $THIS_VARIABLE"
./script2.bash $THIS_VARIABLE

Script2.bash:
echo "Script two says $1"


Good luck BASH scripting!
