[Glass] gsApplicationTools global environment variables

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

A quick look in the startGemServerGem script shows that there is a 
stone-specific env var used to control the location of log files:

logDir=${GEMSTONE_LOGDIR}
if [ "${logDir}x" = "x" ] ; then
   logDir=/opt/gemstone/log
fi
logFile="${logDir}/${GemServer}_server-${Port}.log"

The GEMSTONE_LOGDIR is defined 
$GS_HOME/gemstone/stones/<stone-name>/defStone.env ... this script is 
run before starting the netldi by th $GS_HOME/bin/startNetldi script ...

If you run the startGemServerGem script from within a gem (using 
Smalltalk), then the env vars are inherited from the netldi that started 
the gem.

If you manually start the netldi (and don't use the startNetldi script), 
you could have had the wrong env vars defined ...

If you run the startGemServerGem script from within a topaz job, the env 
vars are inherited from the environment from which you started the topaz 
job.


Finally, if you are manually running startGemServerGem, then it picks up 
whatever env vars you have set when start the job

You should be able to do `. 
$GS_HOME/gemstone/stones/<stone-name>/defStone.env` to get the right env 
vars set ...


Of course you may be refering to some other issue/global:)
