Setting Environment Variables on UNIX/LINUX

SwitchKit environment variables can be set in three ways on UNIX/LINUX:

• Use the @ Shell Prompt. The following is an example of the syntax:

SK_ENV_VAR=x

export SK_ENV_VAR

Important! Environment variables set on the @ Shell Prompt only apply to the Switchkit process (LLC, SwitchManager or a user application) running in that command shell.

• Use .Profile for user.

• Use the defaults file. You need to create this in the SK_LIB_DIR directory.
