If you want toto.conf.sh to be sourced as part of a larger script, you
should either use return or just let the exit status implicitly be that of
the last executed command, rather than calling exit on success (otherwise,
you would be exiting the larger script as well).

As written, you are invoking toto.conf.sh independently, in its own shell
environment.  If you want toto.conf.sh to affect the current environment,
you need to source it - look at the documentation for '.' (also known as
'source').
