在python脚本中设置环境变量，并运行相关应用

1. 问题 

在自动化应用的时候 ，有时候环境变量与运行需要不一致。这时候有两种选择：

1. 改变节点环境变量，使得其和运行需求保持一致；
2. 在自动化脚本中设置环境变量，其范围只在脚本运行环境中有效。

显然，当需要运行多个自动化脚本，每个的需求不一致的时候，选择2是更好的设计。

2. 解决方案和案例

假设我们有两个java的运行版本，一个是本节点上的java，版本7；另一个是云盘上共享的版本8。我们需要运行elasticsearch 6.2.3，它需要java8。而我们不希望更新节点上的java：

• java 8路径：/shared/java8/bin
• elasticsearch 6.2.3路径：/opt/elasticsearch6.2.3/bin
•  elasticsearch用户：elasticsearch

3. 注意的问题

有几个需要注意的问题：

• 环境变量的适用范围(scope)
  • 一般只在运行的当前shell有效
  • 就上例而言，JAVA_HOME只在运行脚本的进程里是有效
• 在哪里设置环境变量？
  • 需要在运行命令之前设置　　
  • 就上例而言，JAVA_HOME需要在运行java版本检查，和运行elasticsearch之前设置
