Re: passing environment variable to cfengine daemons

      restarting all cfengine processe made the thing rolling...

      i added this to def.cf:

        aix:: "environment_vars" handle =>
            "common_def_vars_environment_vars", comment =>
            "Environment variables of the agent process. The
            values of environment variables are inherited by child
            commands. This variable makes aix more unix conform,
            should not hurt in cfengine context", slist => {
            "XPG_SUS_ENV=ON", };

Seems reasonable to me, but perhaps there should also be an empty list
for the default case if you are not aix or debian.

      this to cf_agent.cf:

      debian|aix::

      environment => { @(def.environment_vars) };

Then, if there is a default empty list this does not have to be
restricted to a specific context and could then be set via augments for
any platform without having to modify the vendored MPF.

      shall i do an PR?

That would be great, can you open a ticket first so you can follow the
contribution guidelines with respect to the [format of the PR]?
