Is there a way to access shell env variable in the mongo shell?
In nodejs, it can access an environment variable in script like following. 

var uri = process.env['MONGOLAB_URI']

I am looking for the same way in mongo script.

You can use a redirection like this : 

NAME="John"

mongo << EOF
use testDB
db.person.findOne({"name":"$NAME"})
EOF
