If you are in the need to set an environment variable for an smf service, you are looking for envvar. It get's set in the service
scope or in the exec_method
scope. Here is a small example, how it's used.
<exec_method type="method" name="start" exec="/bin/bash">
<method_context>
<method_environment>
<envvar name="FOO" value="bar" />
</method_environment>
</method_context>
</exec_method>
This example sets the environment variable FOO
to bar. This is espacially useful, when you have to modify PATH
or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. Just don't forget, that you did it.
