Hi Utkarsh,
I think environment variables are kind of a band aid around a larger
issue. In addition to leveraging the user's local environment, there's
also no way to get information from the server side environment. for
example list of account numbers a user can charge jobs to, or a list of
active queues. One thing I have been thinking about is rather than just
reading pvsc from an xml file, paraview could call a script to get the
pvsc xml. This script could query the user's local/remote environment
and generate the xml. A long time ago we had talked about a python based
solution. What do you think?

Rick,
Alas no, this isn't currently supported. But should be fairly
straightforward to add. I've reported a bug:

Question about the default_servers.pvsc file…..
I have this in my host profile:
<Server name=“My System" resource="csrc://127.0.0.1">
<CommandStartup>
<Options>
<Option name="SSHLOC" label="Local SSH Command" save="true">
<File default="/usr/local/bin/ssh"/>
</Option>
So, when the GUI pops up, the user has an opportunity to change the path to
ssh. But, rather than hard-coding the default value, or presenting blank
field and have the user put in the correct path, is it possible to query the
user’s environment and find `which ssh` and substitute in that value??
