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. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Here's what the man page says about it: For security reasons, directories which are world or group-writable or which are not owned by root produce warning messages and are skipped, unless the -i option is present.

Well, that created a binary, but when I rebooted...nothing. Same problem :( The command should be # ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql The file is not /etc/ld.so.conf, nor does this file exist on the default install of freebsd, but rather /var/run/ld.so.hints.

Re: Setting Env
I just tried another thing: 1) Reboot server 2) Run the mysql-server script that has the aforementioned mini-script in it (that produced the echo) 3) Restart Zope. Nope...didn't work. Then I ran: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql and restarted Zope and no problem! Go figure! Drew Don't get soaked. Take a quick peek at the forecast with the Yahoo!

Re: Setting Env
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!

Yes. It was only when I put this script in that mysql came up on boot.

I did that. I found out BTW that it executes the "if" part of the above, not
the "else" part.

Does the script even run?
Try putting some echo-s in their and see if anything happens.
What are the permissions and ownership of the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server

Did you source the rc.conf files? I am used to using csh/tcsh which uses the source command. I am not sure I remember it for sh, but it might be just '.' followed by the file name. Sourcing the file sucks it in and makes all the variable settings available to the current shell.You need to do some handbook and shell documentation reading and example studying. There are lots of things on the system that do this and that make good examples to emulate.I am not a shell programmer per se, but I manage to get by through grabbing chunks of things that already work on the system ad modifying they for my current use.

As far as scripts, this *should* be easy... Things like setenv, set, source and such. rc.d startup scripts, rc.conf. What does your rc.conf look like?

Subject: Re: Setting Env
If you want the environment variable to
be set for something that is taking place in the script, then
that variable must either be set in a durable way in the parent
environment or be set right there in the script that is using it.
The rc.conf method will make it available from the parent.
That is the whole point of rc.conf.
Right. I figured that much. So, what do I actually put in that file? I
tried these two options:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql/"
Well, setenv is a csh or tcsh command and isn't in sh and probably
not in bash either (I haven't used bash).
I am aware of that. I was trying to explain how I used
every_possible_combination of things I could think of!
The export command is an sh and probably bash command and it
doesn't exist in csh or tcsh.
Yes, yes. I know.
It didn't like either, presumably because it's not calling a bash or c-shell.
So, what should I put in /etc/rc.conf that will achieve my objective?
Look at other variable setting in rc.conf. That should give you
a good clue. For example, in my rc.conf I have several. One is:
moused_enable="YES"
That makes the moused_enable variable have a value of YES.
So, if you want LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the value of /usr/local/lib/mysql/
might that not be:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql/"
I tried that and posted yesterday that that failed.
If you put it in the script that starts things - there needs to be one -
then it depends on the script language, csh/tcsh sh/bash.
csh/tcsh use setenv and set
sh [and bash] use set and variable_name=value and needs an export to
make it available to other entities besides the shell itself.
You should look up the man pages on these things and take a look
at some other scripts such as those in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for
examples.
What *things*? As far as scripts, this *should* be easy...
#!/bin/csh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/
...right? It doesn't work. Any other ideas?
Drew
It probably gets overwritten somewhere later on down the line.
Also, something to the effect like the following is better for
portability reasons:
#!/bin/sh
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
# run mysql junk here..

Is this running from cron or at system bootup or something so there is no login involved? In those cases, it is well documented that your scripts have to be completely responsible for their environments and paths, etc. So, set everything within the scipt. Or, if it is something systemwide, then put setting the variable it in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local if you let your system have one. jerry > > Any other ideas? > TIA, > Drew > jerry > > > TIA, > > Drew > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Looking for earth-friendly autos? > > Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo!

I tried adding its bash variant to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server but that didn't work. As far as adding it to my shell, that won't run the script when the server reboots, only when I log in, right? That's not an option. Any other ideas?

Setting Env
20Hi; For some reason, I need to run this: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ to get my Zope instances up and running. I'm trying to figure out how to automate that. I wrote a little script: #!/bin/csh setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ and put it here: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql_setenv chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql_setenv I can run that little script with no errors. However, it *doesn't* set the environment! # echo $shell # csh What gives? TIA, Drew Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo!
