Rundeck: Missing system environment variables on local execution

[eblikstad]

Issue type: Bug report/Enhancement Request

My Rundeck detail

• Rundeck version: 2.6.11
• install type: launcher
• OS Name/version: Windows 2012 R2
• DB Type/version: Microsoft SQL Server

Expected Behavior
A script interpreter should inherit the system environment variables.

Actual Behavior
All the system environment varibles including PATH is missing.

How to reproduce Behavior
Create a job with a inline script. In the script use the single command "set". The command set displays all environment variables from the command script interpreter cmd.exe. Assign the Rundeck server (local node) for executing the job.

This is still an issue. I had to write a script to copy all env variables into framework properties before startup.

I have a patch for Rundeck 2.6.11 which is working. I'm upgrading this instance to 2.10.6 and can add a pull request for the patch for the latest version.
