[stupid question] setting env variables globally
Is there any way to set the default value of a enviromental variable globally. Specifically I want JAVA_VERSION to default to 1.6 unless the user sets it other wise. By global I mean no matter how something is invoked (command line, script, GUI, IPC trigger, etc.) if it checks the value of the var it gets the same value (and I want to do this system wide) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Depending on exactly how and when (and from where) a process is started this might not work, but is probably the best that can be done without hacking the kernel source code. A process normally inherits the environment from its parent process. When a process calls some of the exec(3) functions to start a new program it can also provide a completely new environment which can be completely independent of the parent's. The settings in login.conf(5) only (AFAICT) affects processes whose ancestry can be traced back to a login(1) instance, and where the environment hasn't been changed along the way. This should cover most of the processes you are interested in but perhaps not quite all of them. If you really want *all* processes to have a certain environment variable set to a given value you will have to modify the execve(2) system call. I don't recommend doing this unless you know *exactly* what you are doing and the possible consequences thereof. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I then source this from the .profile or .bashrc in a given user's account. If you need this for cron jobs, there is a way to set environment variables in the crontab entry IIRC...

setting ENV VARs in make.conf/ports.conf ?
hi,
i've installed FreeBSD v6.2-RELEASE, plus 'portconf' 'ccache' from ports.
i've setup,
/etc/make.conf
-
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
USE_OPENSSL_PORT=true
OPENSSLBASE=/usr/local
USE_OPENSSH_PORT=true
WITHOUT_X11=yes
CPUTYPE?=pentium-mmx
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe
## Begin portconf settings
## Do not touch these lines
.if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*) exists(/usr/local/libexec/portconf)
_PORTCONF!=/usr/local/libexec/portconf
.for i in ${_PORTCONF:S/|/ /g}
${i:S/%/ /g}
.endfor
.endif
## End portconf settings
.if !defined(NOCCACHE)
CC=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/cc
CXX=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/c++
CPP=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/cpp
.endif
-
so that i can turn OFF use of ccache for individual ports.
i find that different ports 'respond' only to specific ways of setting
the NOCCACHE var.
e.g., in,
cat /usr/local/etc/ports.conf
-
*:\
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops -s -frename-registers
-fomit-frame-pointer | \
CXXFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops -s -frename-registers
databases/sqlite3-threads:NOCCACHE=true | \
WITHOUT_DEBUG=true|WITH_DOCS=true|WITH_FTS1=true|WITH_TCLWRAPPER=true|BATCH=Yes
sysutils/pflogx:MAKE_ENV= NOCCACHE=true | \
WITH_EXPAT=true|BATCH=Yes
-
pflogx and sqlite3 require DIFFERENT specifications of NOCCACHE ...
swapping formate, e.g., causes the conditional .if
!defined(NOCCACHE) to fail; meaning, that the CC/CXX/CPP defs
pointing to ccahce/* are oncorrectly used.
is this expected/normal? i would've expected the same method of
defining ENV VAR knobs ...
is there a _consistent_ way of turning off NOCCACHE via the ports.conf?
thanks!

Re: Setting Env
20I wrote the following script (with your help) to solve the problem I'm having
with setting the MySQL environment and getting Zope up after the fact. I have
saved this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ If I run this after the machine reboots, all
is well. If I simply let it run in the reboot sequence, it doesn't do it's job!
The sleep command is to give the server a chance to finish all its other bootup
sequences, since that appears to be the factor messing things up. But it
doesn't work!! What can I do to tweak this to do what I need it to do?
TIA,
Drew

Well, it's going to involve a bit more than that to get an rc script up
and running I'm afraid.. the script needs a start, stop, status
functions, as well as a few others. Some examples are in the /etc/rc.d
and /usr/local/etc/rc.d directories, as you've discovered.
Given your output above, maybe you want to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH lines
to the zopectl file?
Cheers!

Drew I think this is really changing to getting a script to run at boot time from its previous 'setting env'. Anyway, I suggest first just working on getting any script to run at boot time - or rather at the time the system comes up for multi- user, but that stuff does not run when it comes up to single-user. So, my next suggestion is to make any little ole script with a couple of echo-s in it to demonstration that it runs and put that it the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory with the correct permissions and name, etc. NOTE, someone in an earlier post clarified the .sh issue with information that was new to me about the system looking for certain flags inside the file if the file name does not have the .sh ending. Go back and check that out, but the this, assume you have to have .sh and execute permission. You do not have to have a start/stop/restart check in the script if the script will always just run regardless of parameter. But, what the system does is call the script with a parameter of 'start' at boot time and a parameter of 'stop' at shutdown time. But for the sake of the primative test, those can be omitted. Let's say you call the scriptfile: 'rctest.sh' Put something like: #!/bin/sh echo running rctest.sh, got this far # Add any any other stuff you want to test echo running rctest.sh, finished Now, if the bare skeleton works, then start adding more parts to it until you get to where everything works. Add more echo-s if they are useful.

Now, if the bare skeleton works, then start adding more parts
to it until you get to where everything works. Add more echo-s
if they are useful.
But I've done that (except name it *.sh, which I just did). And I'm not at the
server. It's on the other side of the globe. So I can't watch echo's pop up as
it boots. Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 60
if [ -n $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ] ; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/mysql
else
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql
fi
cd /usr/local/zope/
./instance1/bin/zopectl stop
./instance1/bin/zopectl start
./instance2/bin/zopectl stop
./instance2/bin/zopectl start
The sleep is in there to try to get it to run after everything else has come
up, but it doesn't help. If I run that script after boot, everything works out
fine.
You could also look up how to get your messages written to a log
Hey, now there's an idea! How do I do that? Or where do I go to study how to do
that?

Drew

You don't suppose, if you made a file named 'rctest.sh' and put it
in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory owned by root:wheel with
execute permissions contain the following, that you might learn
something? Then, take a look at /rctest.log after you reboot.

However, Zope was still not up. I should qualify that. Zope appears to be up,

Sounds like your problem is with Zope somewhere and not
the startup script per se - though it could be something
missing in the startup. I have never used Zope.

It kicked out that output when I tested it and also when I rebooted the server. However,
Zope was still not up. I should qualify that. Zope appears to be up, but when
I try to access it TTW (the ZMI) I can't reach the site.
TIA,
Drew
Sounds like your problem is with Zope somewhere and not
the startup script per se - though it could be something
missing in the startup. I have never used Zope.

If the user has a home, why not add it to /etc/profile, or ~/.profile?
It's only a problem if it's a daemon user without a home.. that's when
stuff gets a bit tricky with the profile setup.

It probably gets overwritten somewhere later on down the line.

the else part.
What are the permissions and ownership of the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server

20BTW, here is how I test to see if it works after reboot. 1) Try to pull up a page served by Zope. Get an error. 2) Shut Zope down. 3) Restart Zope with runzope to read the error. It is concerning the MySQL environment. 4) Enter the command: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql 5) Restart Zope. Everything fine. Drew Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

The command should be # ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql Thanks for the correction. This is actually what gets run when mysql is installed via ports.
