Derek Williams updated GEODE-5531:
----------------------------------
Description:
Variables are [documented
here|http://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/16/tools_modules/gfsh/useful_gfsh_shell_variables.html]
to work with gfsh echo, but do not. This applies to both pre-defined shell
variables and user-defined variables (set variable...).
For example,
{code}
echo --string=$*
{code}
will show all shell variables and values, but
{code}
echo --string=${SYS_USER}
{code}
simply displays ${SYS_USER}
Indeed,
[EchoCommand.java|https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/78dcf4b8fa86543e882365e78f1c8e2a623bffde/geode-core/src/main/java/org/apache/geode/management/internal/cli/commands/EchoCommand.java]
has a special case for `$*`, but does not include the other documented cases.
