I have always thought of this functionality as being like cron where if I need 
to have some environment set for a command I'll do it in a wrapper.  As a 
result, we use CFEngine to run tasks as oracle but they are all scripts that 
set the environment internally.

I'm not exactly sure why CFEngine can't set environment variables directly for 
individual commands.  I know this can be done globally, but this is rarely 
useful.  Perhaps there are complications or vulnerabilities when doing this on 
a per command basis..
