Note that the shell tries to de-reference any environment variables you
specify via $VarName so that's why the environment variable is being
resolved on the system where you are submitting the STAF service request.
Instead, use a STAF variable.  STAF provides a STAF variable for each
environment variable that exists when STAFProc is started named
STAF/Env/<VarName>.  So you can specify this as {STAF/Env/GLASSFISH_HOME}
in your STAF service request.  Note that "{" denotes a STAF variable
reference.  Most STAF service options support resolving STAF variables (as
documented in the STAF User's Guide).  For example:

su - root -c "/usr/local/staf/bin/STAF $SUT_PRI PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND
\"
   # service maf-tds stop
   su - mafadmin
   asadmin stop-cluster --user admin --passwordfile
{STAF/Env/GLASSFISH_HOME}/passwords.txt cluster1
   # asadmin stop-domain domain1
   # asadmin stop-node-agent agent_PRIM0
\" WAIT STDERRTOSTDOUT STDOUT /tmp/stop_primary_server_activity.log" 2>&1
> /dev/null
#--> end staf cmd

Subject:        [staf-users] How to reference env variables on staf client
            system



Hi all –

I am using STAF inside BASH scripts with RHEL5 to control the the automated
installation of software I need to regression test nightly.

On the target test system, the STAF is running.

From my staf-mgmt system, I need to execute a command on the remote client
system that contains a reference to an environment variable on the remote
system that is NOT set on the mgmt client.

As an example, here is the bash script code that I need to run on the
remote server to stop some applications.  Notice the global env var
$GLASSFISH_HOME in the asadmin command inside the PROCESS command stack.
This does not get de-referenced on the remote system as the var
$GLASSFISH_HOME is not set on my staf mgmt system.

#--> staf cmd
su - root -c "/usr/local/staf/bin/STAF $SUT_PRI PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND
\"
   # service maf-tds stop
   su - mafadmin
   asadmin stop-cluster --user admin --passwordfile
$GLASSFISH_HOME/passwords.txt cluster1
   # asadmin stop-domain domain1
   # asadmin stop-node-agent agent_PRIM0
\" WAIT STDERRTOSTDOUT STDOUT /tmp/stop_primary_server_activity.log" 2>&1
> /dev/null
#--> end staf cmd

I have tried escaping it as follows:

#--> staf cmd
su - root -c "/usr/local/staf/bin/STAF $SUT_PRI PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND
\"
   # service maf-tds stop
   su - mafadmin
   asadmin stop-cluster --user admin --passwordfile
\$GLASSFISH_HOME/passwords.txt cluster1
   # asadmin stop-domain domain1
   # asadmin stop-node-agent agent_PRIM0
\" WAIT STDERRTOSTDOUT STDOUT /tmp/stop_primary_server_activity.log" 2>&1
> /dev/null
#--> end staf cmd

but that doesn’t seem to work either.  What am I missing?

Thanks for any help

Mike
