Mzigaib Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 When I generate the IFDs I noticed that it doesn't contain my environment variables like $JOB so when I render it it doesn't find my stuff unless I set manually in the shell, I am using linux, is there something I am missing?

lukeiamyourfather Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Environment variables are exactly that - environment variables. They're not file variables. Typically the environment variables are setup by a queue manager before the task is run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzigaib Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks for the feedback! Yeah it makes sense but if I check inside the IFD there's a command that sets the env for hipfile like "setenv hip='somepath'", I was wondering if there is a way for me to insert my own in the IFD when I generate it.

lukeiamyourfather Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 You could use something like sed to add stuff after the fact though I think you're better off using a wrapper script that sets things up before calling the render.

Mzigaib Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, I just discover that Royal Render the manager that I am using has this option so case closed Thanks for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
