Re: Access system ENV variables from within CGI Script

How is Apache started? .profile only gets executed by ksh if it is a login shell (then it executes .kshrc). So, for example, if it is started at system boot time that is not a login shell.
On ksh88 non-login shells execute .kshrc only, but on ksh93 only interactive shells execute .kshrc.
So, depending on the version of ksh you are using, you might be able to use .kshrc, but I can't guarantee it.
To find the version of ksh: set -o emacs, then <CTRL>V.
