Using Command Line Options

• The command line option -env=[var_name]=[var_value] adds an environment variable to the JobScheduler.
  • This variable is established only in the scope of the JobScheduler.
• If a variable [var_name] already exists in the user environment then the value of the -env option will become effective.
• The Windows Service of the JobScheduler reads the system and user environment only if it runs in the corresponding user account.
• Environment variables are considered for substitution when used in settings (see Job Scheduler Reference Documentation).

Start Script with -env

Example for starting the JobScheduler with an environment variable:

 unix-shell>[install_path]/bin/jobscheduler.sh start -env="hello=world" 
 windows-shell>[install_path]\bin\jobscheduler.cmd start -env="hello=world"

Environment Variables Script: jobscheduler_environment_variables.(sh|cmd)

The JobScheduler start script reads the environment from the .\user_bin\jobscheduler_environment_variables.(sh|cmd) script.

 rem windows 
 SET SCHEDULER_PARAMS=%SCHEDULER_PARAMS% -env="hello=world" 
 SET SCHEDULER_START_PARAMS=%SCHEDULER_START_PARAMS% -env="hello=world"
 ...

Windows Service

The Windows Service always starts JobScheduler with the options and environment variables that have been used for installation. During the Windows JobScheduler setup a Windows Service is installed that has to be re-installed in order to make new environment variables effective.
