Each process started via STAF runs in the environment that STAFProc is
running in (plus any updates you've made to environment variables via the
ENV option(s), etc). and each process runs in its own environment. Using
a static handle does not change this.
But, I thibk you can achieve what you want by running a compound command
that first sources the profile and then runs your "appControl startServer"
command (separating the two commands using a semicolon, the Unix command
separator), For example:
STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND ". /path/to/application/profile;
appControl startServer" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Or, you could create a shell script that sources the profile and then runs
your "appControl startServer" command and run the shell script (as this
would do essentially the same thing).

Subject: [staf-users] Setting environmental variables from a shell
script
Greetings,
I have some software installed on a Solaris 10 machine that I am trying to
start with a STAX job. In order to start the software you are required to
source a profile script first to setup the environment.
root# . /path/to/application/profileroot# appControl startServer
My first thought was to just build the environment by hand using the ENV
parameter of PROCESS START however I cannot depend on the environmental
variables always being the same. Also I would prefer to keep the logic of
building the environment in the shell script the application ships with.
I thought perhaps I could use a static handle to tie the processes
together, such as:
C:\> STAF solarisMachine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND . PARMS
/path/to/application/profile STATICHANDLENAME appEnvironment
Response-----------393
C:\> STAF solarisMachine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND appControl PARMS
startServer ENV STAF_STATIC_HANDLE=393 WAIT RETURNSTDERR
Response--------{ Return Code: 1 Key : <None> Files : [
{ Return Code: 0 Data : sh: appControl: not found
} ]}
I can tell the environmental variables did not persist between processes
as the PATH appears to be incomplete. This leads me to believe I am
misunderstanding the concept of static handles.
Any thoughts on how I could solve this problem?
