Yes, it turned out this is possible!  :)  I updated the wiki.

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+configuration+overlay#Grouperconfigurationoverlay-Environmentvariables

Environment variables

If you want a config to be pulled from an environment variable, do this:

somethingWhatever.elConfig = ${java.lang.System.getenv().get('JAVA_HOME')}

That will cause the property "somethingWhatever" to have the value 
"c:\dev_inst\java" or whatever it is set to.  Do the following two things:

1. append    .elConfig        to the propertyName
2. this is the value: ${java.lang.System.getenv().get('JAVA_HOME')}

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] passing bash variables in grouper.properties file to 
grouper

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
