[Swift-devel] Fwd: [Swift-user] Question: Setting environment variables

[wilde at mcs.anl.gov]

David, this user question is a good example of a "app note" that we should add to the user guide and the tutorial.

As you see questions on the list, can you update the docs as appropriate so that the next user with the same question is more likely to find the answer?  Or, keep a list of such updates?  (Thats in a sense what the SwiftCookBook page on the SWFT wiki is):

Taleena,

You set env vars for a given app in the tc.data file using an "Env profile":

  http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/guides/userguide.php#profile.env

For example:

localhost  myapp  /usr/bin/env  none  none  ENV::myenvvar="something";

Thats not real clear in the User Guide - we will fix that.
