systemd Developer Ray Strode rstrode@redhat.com environment.d 5 environment.d Definition of user session environment ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf /etc/environment.d/*.conf /run/environment.d/*.conf /usr/lib/environment.d/*.conf /etc/environment The environment.d directories contain a list of "global" environment variable assignments for the user environment. systemd-environment-d-generator8 parses them and updates the environment exported by the systemd user instance to the services it starts. It is recommended to use numerical prefixes for file names to simplify ordering. For backwards compatibility, a symlink to /etc/environment is installed, so this file is also parsed. The configuration files contain a list of KEY=VALUE environment variable assignments, separated by newlines. The right hand side of these assignments may reference previously defined environment variables, using the ${OTHER_KEY} and $OTHER_KEY format. No other elements of shell syntax are supported. /etc/environment.d/60-foo.conf: FOO_DEBUG=force-software-gl,log-verbose PATH=/opt/foo/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/foo/lib XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/foo/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS} systemd1, systemd-environment-d-generator8, systemd.environment-generator7
