Then you probably just want to first resolve the PROCESS START COMMAND
string, specifying the HANDLE <Handle> on the VAR RESOLVE request. Then
use the result string as the COMMAND you are submitting to the remote
machine.
Or you can use a static handle for both the VAR SET and the PROCESS
START...

Re: [staf-users] Share variables across commands
That's exactly what I'm trying to do: use variables for the calling handle
only (not shared or system variables), but the code you provided doesn't
work, it gives:
Variable resolution failed for string: echo {First} {Second} {Third}
You are trying to resolve a variable that does not exist.
That's what I expected as the VAR Set command has a handle and the PROCESS
Start command has another one, so those variables aren't visible to it.
2008/5/7 David Bender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
It depends on exactly what you are trying to do. You can certainly use
VAR SET to remotely set variables (maybe you can point me to the STAF
documentation where that is not clear).
For example, I can set some variables on a remote system:
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com VAR SET VAR first=1st VAR second=2nd VAR
third=3rd
Response
--------
And then run some STAF requests to the remote machine which reference
those variables:
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "echo {first}
{second} {third}" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : 1st 2nd 3rd
}
]
}
$ STAF remotemachine.company.com PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "echo {first}
{second} {third}" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : 1st 2nd 3rd
}
]
}

[staf-users] Share variables across commands
Hello,
I want to share some variables across some successive staf commands on a
remote machine, do I have to register a static handle? (it is stated that
the VAR Set command is not available for remote machine!). So how can I do
this?
Thanks
