Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

Configuring Environment Variables for Remote Execution

When the desktop uses an action to start an application on a remote system, the user's environment variables are copied to the remote system and placed in the environment of the application.

By default, some of the environment variables are altered before they are copied to the remote system. You can configure both the action invocation component and the subprocess control service of the desktop to perform additional environment variable processing before the variables are placed into the application's environment.

For more information on the default configuration and how to modify it, see the dtactionfile(4) and dtspcdenv(4) man pages.
