Unix Environment Script
Hi,

I was wondering what is the best way to write a centralized unix environment script. This script would set the application environment variables per specific environment. e.g. dev, qa, test or prod.

We currenlty have 2 types of env files e.g. .envfile and set.env per environment. These contain all the necessary application variables that need to be set. And these are set through the calling script via . .envfile or . set.env (we dot the file to set/export the variables.) We would like to consolidate these env files.

How could we accomplish to have only one env shell script to set 4 different environemnts? I guess this need to be based on "host" and/or "user" per environment.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this topic.

Thanks in advance,

AC

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

EXIT CODES

       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       /etc/init.d/skeleton,
       update-rc.d(8),
       init(8),
       invoke-rc.d(8).
