Greetings,
I have a strange problem with environment variables. On a Sun E450 running Solaris 7 Generic_106541-16 certain variables seem to exist but I cannot find out where it is loaded from. Since the system has been up for over 230 days software may have been removed or added that initially set these variables.
The variables in question are:
CAIHPAD10=/CA/agents/data/hpa
AGENTWORKS_DIR=/CA
I've checked /etc/profile ~/.profile but this is the only useful portion:
# *---------------------------------------------- *
# Modifications made by setupNSM for
# Unicenter NSM Agent Technology
# *---------------------------------------------- *
if [ "$AGENTWORKS_DIR" = '' ]
then
AGENTWORKS_DIR="/ca"
export AGENTWORKS_DIR
fi
if [ -f "$AGENTWORKS_DIR"/scripts/envset ]
then
. "$AGENTWORKS_DIR/scripts/envset"
fi
# *---------------------------------------------- *
# End of Modifications made by setupNSM for
# Unicenter NSM Agent Technology
# *---------------------------------------------- *
Somehow AGENTWORKS_DIR is being set somewhere but none of the usual places contain this string. /bin/login, telnetd nor /bin/sh don't load these variables. Creating a new user on the system and typing /usr/bin/env after login shows these variables again.
Any ideas on how to find where these variables are set? For the time being forcing the setting in /etc/profile is the current solution but there must be another explanation.
thanks in advance.
