Environment variables

System Testing supervisor scripts may read and write environment variables on the System Testing Supervisor machine and on target machines.

Precede an environment variable name with a dollar sign ($) to substitute the environment variable by its value within a statement.

To force a variable to refer to the environment of the System Testing Supervisor machine, precede the environment variable with the 'at' sign (@) instead of the dollar sign.

Example

HOST machine IS $HOSTNAME

-- show the contents of the target home directory

DO machine: ls $HOME

-- show the contents of the local home directory

SHELL ls $HOME
