msfconsole and using bash variables

Question

When trying to set RHOSTS for an auxiliary module, I tried using $server, which is a bash variable I've set before entering msfconsole. It is not readable from within msfconsole.

How do I access bash variables from msfconsole?

I think you can just pass bash variables via args by using -x option. This could help you — Virgula, Mar 28 '20 at 10:14

Keep in mind that metasploit do not contain all bash functionality. It has some basic commands like ls or ping but I am not sure if you can use full bash inside. You can try to create a script of echoing the variable and simple copy paste can do the job.
