I am trying to figure out how to get a script to figure out the hostname

command line parameter (as illustrated).  It seems that the script is
getting executed in a clean environment, regardless of the exec.clean
setting. Is this a bug? The man pages aren't particularly clear on the
expected behaviour of this.  I am running FreeBSD 10.2.

I would like to be able to set exec.poststart as a global default so it
doesn't need to be defined per jail.

Thanks,

exec.clean = 0 ;

testjail_example_com {
    # THIS WORKS
    exec.poststart += "/path/to/script.sh testjail.example.com";
    exec.clean = 0 ;
    host.hostname = "testjail.example.com";

    devfs_ruleset = "5";

You can reference jail parameters within other parameters, much like you'd use shell variables. In the global part of the definition, you can set:

exec.poststart = "/path/to/script.sh ${host.hostname}"

Then you won't need to define a separate exec.poststart within each jail. Note you can also do this with the path parameter, since your path is based on the hostname. And exec.consolelog and mount.fstab are based on the jail name, so you can similarly globally set something like mount.fstab = "/etc/$name".

exec.clean=0 should indeed avoid scrubbing the environment, but note that if your jail starts by running /etc/rc, the top of rc will reset at least the path on its own, probably other stuff as well.
