FishEye 1.3 : Environment Variables
This page last changed on Oct 03, 2007 by smaddox.
JAVA_HOMEThe JAVA_HOME environment variable is used by FishEye to select the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to be used to run FishEye. If this environment variable is not set, FishEye will use whatever Java executable is available on the path. In Linux systems, this may sometimes be GCJ-based which causes some problems running FishEye. See the instructions on setting JAVA_HOME. FISHEYE_OPTSFishEye uses the FISHEYE_OPTS environment variable to pass parameters to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used to run FishEye. This is typically used to set the Java heap size available to FishEye. With a Sun JVM, for example, you would use: FISHEYE_OPTS=-Xmx256m This would give FishEye a 256 MByte heap. See Tuning FishEye for more information. It is possible to put other JVM options into the FISHEYE_OPTS environment variable. For example, the -Xrs options should be used if running FishEye as a service under Windows, to prevent the JVM closing when an interactive user logs out. FISHEYE_ARGSFISHEYE_ARGS are the arguments which will be passed to FishEye when it is started. You can set this to --debug, for example, if you always want to have FishEye debugging put into the FishEye log files FISHEYE_LIBRARY_PATHThe FISHEYE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable tells FishEye where it should look to load any additional native libraries. FISHEYE_HOMEFISHEYE_HOME is the location of the FishEye application. By default FishEye will set this to the directory above the fisheyectl script. FISHEYE_INSTThe FISHEYE_INST variable tells FishEye where to store its data. If you wish to separate FishEye's data from its application files in FISHEYE_HOME, you should use this variable. Read more about this variable in the Installation Guide. |
