Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Jay Hoff <>]

I have a question about passing a bash variable value into Grouper.  I’m 
working on making the file grouper.properties free of any system specific 
configuration so that it can be replicated to other Grouper nodes without the 
need to configure the file for each specific system. Specifically, in 
grouper.properties I have the following line:

mail.from.address = 
grouper_test@$hostname.subdomain.psu.edu
 (the actual FQDN for the node is used)

Which is used for mailing the daily Grouper reports.

What I would like to be able to do, is to pass the value for the bash 
variable ${HOSTNAME} to Grouper. I’ve tried this:

mail.from.address = 
grouper_test@${HOSTNAME}

but the ${HOSTNAME} is treated as text and the variable is not expanded.

Any thoughts would be helpful.


Thanks much,


Jay
