environmental variables (PATH)
Hi, I was wondering whether there is a way to set (or more properly to update) the PATH environmental variable for my Galaxy instance? so that I could simply avoid using the absolute path of the scripts/tools that are defined in the XML(tool) files I created. thanks, Erick

Hi Erick, The $PATH used to run tools is inherited from the environment in which Galaxy is started. So as long as it is set properly beforehand, your tools should be found. --nate

Hi Erick, Please see the thread: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-July/002978.html where I had issues with the environment and $PATH, it turned out to be my mistake with the shell script I had to start the Galaxy daemon. You shouldn't ever need to specify the full path to your executables in with the <command> tag hth, Leandro On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Nate Coraor <nate@bx.psu.edu> wrote:

Nate, should I expect the same behaviour within a SGE environment? Erick On 10 September 2010 20:47, Nate Coraor <nate@bx.psu.edu> wrote:

No, with SGE you would need to make sure that the $PATH is set in the clustered environment. This is done with your shell's startup files or the sge_request(5) file. --nate
