Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: commands with setuid environment Author: bbomgardner Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,23529,23533#msg-23533
I have always thought of this functionality as being like cron where if I need to have some environment set for a command I'll do it in a wrapper. As a result, we use CFEngine to run tasks as oracle but they are all scripts that set the environment internally. I'm not exactly sure why CFEngine can't set environment variables directly for individual commands. I know this can be done globally, but this is rarely useful. Perhaps there are complications or vulnerabilities when doing this on a per command basis.. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
