Use Ubuntu Environment Variables in Gradle Properties File

location: linuxexchange.com - date: January 1, 1970
I have an Environment Variable on an Ubuntu server, SDB_DOMAIN, that I'm trying to pass to this gradle properties file: https://github.com/Netflix/SimianArmy/blob/master/src/main/resources/janitor.properties#L20 What's the syntax to pull environment variables into a properties file like this? I've tried a couple different ways, one example being: simianarmy.janitor.snapshots.ownerId = System.getenv("SIMIAN_OWNER_ID") but that just returns the literal value when I start the jetty server withgradlew jettRun and watch the logs. 19:55:53.957 [main] INFO c.n.s.basic.BasicSimianArmyContext - using standard class for simianarmy.client.recorder.class 19:55:54.060 [main] INFO c.n.simianarmy.aws.SimpleDBRecorder - Creating SimpleDB domain: "System.getenv(SDB_DOMAIN)" 19:55:54.122 [main] WARN c.n.simianarmy.aws.SimpleDBRecorder - Error while trying to auto-create SimpleDB domain com.amazonaws.services.simpledb.model.InvalidParameterValueException: Value ("System.getenv(SDB_DOMAIN)") fo

Environment Variables problem with Ubuntu & Tomcat

location: linuxquestions.com - date: February 13, 2012
Hi friends, I am new to Linux and i have a very pressing problem here. I am currently working on my Final Year Project. Here's the problem: My server is running on Ubuntu with tomcat6 installed. I have this env variable "PREDICT_HOME" defined with the value "/home/edusys/predictSystem". I can get this variable with no problems at the shell cmd line. Here's the problem, when i run some code in my JSP file under tomcat, i get an entire different set of variables as compared to the set i see when i run "env" at the shell. "PREDICT_HOME" doesn't come out at all, i need that variable value to proceed. What could be the problem?? I am new to Linux.

Setting environment variables in Ubuntu server 10.04

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: July 4, 2011
Hi, I always have to google about setting environment path variables when I install new software. My basic problem is that I don´t know whether these variables need to be set globally or not. I have read a number of mails/tutorials which say that Environment variables should be set by simply doing an export ..eg EDITOR=nano export EDITOR additionally I have read that it should be written into /etc/bash.bashrc But are these really global variables or local? I want the variables to be set even after I have logged out. so I could also write the variable here... /etc/environment or here /etc/profile Can someone please tell me where I should set the variables? yours, Rob

Error on setting environment variables in Ubuntu

location: linuxexchange.com - date: February 2, 2015
I tried to add a path variable in /etc/environment on Ubuntu. JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_31 PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin After I quit the shell and login again, it seems the $PATH has been messed up. Many common commands like ls, vim don't work anymore. I run echo $PATH and the output is: $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin Apparently, the "$" is not parsed correctly here. I wanna keep using "$" as it provides certain flexibility. Is there a work-around for this issue?

Where to put environment variables when using nginx and Passenger on Ubuntu

location: linuxexchange.com - date: April 9, 2012
I was trying to set up a system similar to heroku where I would store secret keys in environmental variables and then access them from my rails app like this: secret = ENV['EMAIL_PASSWORD'] I know heroku lets you do heroku config:add EMAIL_PASSWORD=secret, and I wanted to do something like that for my own ubuntu box running nginx and Passenger. Should I add these variables as exports in .bashrc or .bash_login so that on system reboot these variables are automatically set? I'm not sure when each of those files gets read in.
