environment file support needed

[ochinchina]

Currently, to pass an environment variable to supervisord process we need to "export ENV_NAME=value". This will cause inconvenience sometime and also will be required to set a lot of environment variables.

We want to put all the related environment variables to a single file and the supervisor load this environment file and set it for the program.

Isn't that what config files are for?

Have you developed something to fix this issue @ochinchina ?

If I try to execute this command with the supervisord running within a pod on k8s, then I don't see that the parameter is passed to the java command launched

export JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dspring.profiles.active=openshift
/var/lib/supervisord/bin/supervisord ctl start run-java

and spring report that no profile other then default has been defined (= that confirms that the env var wasn't set)

@cmoulliard please put your environment "JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dspring.profiles.active=openshift" to the supervisord configuration file( in program:x section and the key is "environment").

The command "/var/lib/supervisord/bin/supervisord ctl start run-java" will not pass the environment variable to the "supervisord". The "supervisord ctl start" makes a XML RPC call to the supervisord and ask the supervisord start the program.
