About Variables
You can use the following environmental variables before starting OVO.
$OPC_BRC_HISTSIZE
Returns the value of the environment variable for the
length of the user’s broadcast command history. The
default number of commands saved is 128 per user.
Example: export OPC_BRC_HISTSIZE=512
$OPC_HOME
Returns the working directory of the user who starts a
OVO GUI session. If $OPC_HOME is not set, the working
directory is /tmp. If the UNIX user that started the
OVO GUI has no write permission in /tmp, an error
message is displayed but the GUI still starts. Example:
export OPC_HOME=$HOME/opc
About Variables in All Message Source Templates
You can use the following variables in most text entry fields (exceptions
are noted) for logfiles, the MPE/iX console, the OVO interface, the
threshold monitor, and the SNMP trap template. You can use the
variables within OVO, or pass them to external programs. To ensure
correct processing, you must enter the variables with the angle brackets.
Returns the name of the application associated with
the message. This name is set in the Message Defaults
section of the Add/Modify Console Messages
windows. However, if a console message already has a
value for this field, is not overwritten by
an entry in the Add/Modify Console Messages
window. This variable cannot be used in logfile
templates.
Sample output:
/usr/bin/su(1) Switch User
