I could use some help in understanding the process which Fedora systems
apply to the locale environment variables (specifically LANG and
LC_ALL). It seems that from /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, LC_ALL is unset
unless it was already initialized to something other than the value of LANG.
if [ -n "$LC_ALL" ]; then
if [ "$LC_ALL" != "$LANG" ]; then
export LC_ALL
else
unset LC_ALL
fi
else
unset LC_ALL
fi
I seem to have an application that requires these two variables to be
set to the same value, so instead of modifying the system wide profile
config, I decided to add the following to ~/.bash_profile since this app
runs under only one account:
if [ "$LC_ALL" != "$LANG" ]; then
LC_ALL=$LANG
export LC_ALL
fi
The problem I have now is that this app generates it own job submission
which basically runs a script that dynamically generates another script
for execution later. I'm not a developer so I don't understand the
entire process, but without exporting these two variables inside the
first script, the LC_ALL variable is still being unset by the system
wide profile. I don't know if this illustrates the same issue, but when
I establish an initial SSH session, I see the values set for both
variables as desired, however if I simply kick off another bash shell,
the LC_ALL is unset again.
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
$ bash
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Any explanation of why this is occurring or advise on how to change the
behavior would be appreciated.
Thanks,
