How do I pass UDF Variables between StackScripts?
I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find any way to do this. I am calling other stackscripts like so
<ssinclude StackScriptID="1">
and I am hoping you can do something like
<ssinclude StackScriptID="1" username="user" password ="..." ...etc>
Let me know if it's possible or not, thanks.

Hey,
You got it! This is absolutely possible. What we need is to do is separate out the user defined variables from Linode's special <ssinclude>directive. This is just bash, so everything on its own newline is fine. You can export your variables to other additional scripts, or source additional stackscripts directly. Here's an example
#!/bin/bash
# this parent script sets some variables and downloads a child script.
user=user39292
password="an insecure password"
<ssinclude StackScriptID=1204415>
# we know the name of the file that the ss directive will create
# set that file to be executable and source it
chmod +x ssinclude-1204415
. ssinclude-1204415
