Multiplex job environmental variables

[lgwapnitsky]

I have a job that needs to run on multiple systems repeatedly, but each system has a specific environmental variable that needs to be set when the job is run. Currently I have four separate jobs, but would like to combine this into one multiplex job. Is there a way I can set this environmental variable per host when running the multiplex job?

I'm so sorry, but this feature does not exist. I cannot think of a way to achieve it with Cronicle. I will add this as a feature request.

Hey, no problem. So far, it's a great app. I appreciate the work that's been done already

You can achieve this by using the shell plugin and some if-then clauses:

#!/bin/bash

export VAR=0
if [[ $(hostname -a) == "server01" ]]; then
	export VAR=1
fi

if [[ $(hostname -a) == "server02" ]]; then
	export VAR=2
fi

if [[ $(hostname -a) == "server03" ]]; then
	export VAR=3
fi

echo $VAR

works for me. depending on the executing server, the correct variable is output.
