Hi Ted, You can set the environment in agent control: http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#environment-in-agent This is a global setting that will be inherited by all children (commands-promises and backgrounded/forked agent jobs). I am not aware of a way to set this on a per-command basis, but this seems useful. Perhaps it belongs in body contain: http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#contain-in-commands
If you can't find it, would you mind making a feature request at http://bug.cfengine.com? It should be trivial to implement (unless there are implications I don't see). -- Regards, Eystein 2011/3/11 Ted Zlatanov <t...@lifelogs.com>: > On Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:35:31 +0100 (CET) mark wrote: > > n> Please don't embed su in shell commands, use the contain method > > n> contain => setuid("uid") > > n> to do this.
