title: Setting varible from shell script in Pentaho kettle which can be accessed by further jobs
body: <p>I wanted to know how can I set an variable from shell job available in pentaho kettle, which can be accessible by further Jobs(Simple evaluation) in the workflow.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to create a workflow where I have a start element which would trigger as shelljob to check the folder presence, if the folder is present then set one variable. The next job is Simple evaluation which needs to check if the variable(Set by shell job) is true that proceed with the workflow or terminate the workflow.</p>
  
  <p>Start-->ShellJob(check folder created and set variable)-->SimpleEvaluation Job.</p>
