set environment variables in smf manifests
If you are in the need to set an environment variable for an smf service, you are looking for envvar. It get’s set in the service
scope or in the exec_method
scope. Here is a small example, how it’s used.
<exec_method type="method" name="start" exec="/bin/bash">
<method_context>
<method_environment>
<envvar name="FOO" value="bar" />
</method_environment>
</method_context>
</exec_method>
This example sets the environment variable FOO
to bar. This is espacially useful, when you have to modify PATH
or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. Just don’t forget, that you did it.
