Environment Variables
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In Finit v4.3 support for setting environment variables in `finit.conf`,
|
||||
and any `*.conf`, was added. It is worth noting that these are global
|
||||
and *shared with all* services -- the only way to have a service-local
|
||||
environment is detailed in [Services Environment](service-env.md).
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax for global environment variables is straight forward. In
|
||||
Finit v4.4 the `set` keyword was added for completeness, but the old
|
||||
syntax (without the `set ` prefix) is still honored:
|
||||
|
||||
set foo=bar
|
||||
set baz="qux"
|
||||
|
||||
On reload of .conf files, all tracked environment variables are cleared
|
||||
so if `foo=bar` is removed from `finit.conf`, or any `finit.d/*.conf`
|
||||
file, it will no longer be used by Finit or any new (!) started
|
||||
run/tasks or services. The environment of already started processes can
|
||||
not be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
The only variables reset to sane defaults on .conf reload are:
|
||||
|
||||
PATH=_PATH_STDPATH
|
||||
SHELL=_PATH_BSHELL
|
||||
LOGNAME=root
|
||||
USER=root
|
||||
|
||||
It is entirely possible to override these as well from the .conf files,
|
||||
but be careful. Changing SHELL changes the behavior of `system()` and a
|
||||
lot of other commands as well.
