[19:54] <diverdude> hello, i have specified environment variables as env NAME=VAL but for some reason the executable specified below as exec /path/to/file cannot find the .so files anyway....should these environment variables be set in a different way?
[20:10] <slangasek> diverdude: from your description that sounds like the right way to do it; you may want to post a full copy of your job?
[20:13] <diverdude> i found it....its because apparantly i cannot do eg. env NAME=VAL where VAL is $HOME/some/path. It seems that will be rendered to $HOME/some/path instead of /home/username/some/path...for some reason
[20:16] <slangasek> because a) 'env' does itself not do variable expansion, and b) where do you expect $HOME to be set from
[20:17] <diverdude> slangasek: $HOME was just an example....in my script i was setting an env var and using it in the line below
[20:19] <slangasek> ok
[20:19] <slangasek> so you could do variable expansion by hand in the 'script' part by calling eval
[20:19] <slangasek> but it's probably not worth it
[20:20] <diverdude> nah i just wroite it manually
[20:20] <slangasek> it's *probably* better to just set the final value of the variable manually, yeah
[23:22] <diverdude> What is the latest stage i can start the daemon automatically on bootup?
[23:33] <diverdude> ?
