Seon Core environment variables

Some environment variables are created and/or set by all Seon binaries. These variables are:

• Seon_CFGFILE: Seon main configuration file (absolute path information)
• Seon_IN_DIR: incoming data directory
• Seon_OUT_DIR: outgoing data directory
• Seon_TMP_DIR: temporary data directory
• Seon_BIN_DIR: binary program directory
• Seon_SCRIPT_DIR: script installation directory
• Seon_BACKUP_DIR: backup directory
• RAND_FILE: entropy file for OFTP2 needs
• OPENSSL_BIN: absolute path to openSSL binary
• RRDTOOL_BIN: absolute path to RRDtools binary
• RRDB_DATAPATH: RRD data path
• Seon_WEBGUI_DIR: web interface installation directory
• JAVA_BIN: configured path to the Java runtime (JRE) binary
• CA_FILE: configured absolute path to the root certificate file
• CA_PATH: configured absolute path to the root certificate directory

All processes started by Seon (event scripts, plugins, etc.) have access to these environment variables. The environment variable "Seon_CFGFILE" points to the absolute path to the Seon main configuration file. This has two effects:

• you may start Seon programs in a shell where this variable is set without using the parameter "-C" for all binaries (because the environment variable points to the correct position of the configfile)
• all subsequent processes started by Seon (like event scripts) don't have to bother about the given configfile (like plugins of Seon Enterprise).
