Questions about the `bin/env` file

Hello everyone,

When I unpack, say, https://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/5.16.2/apache-activemq-5.16.2-bin.tar.gz, I can see in the bin directory that there is an env file.

Could anyone please explain to me what is the purpose of this file and how it is used by ActiveMQ? Also, it is possible to move it elsewhere?

Many thanks,

  Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,

the `env` script in the bin folder contains all default configuration
variables[1].

The init script scans the following locations for configurations in the
following order:
/etc/default/activemq
$HOME/.activemqrc
$INSTALLDIR/apache-activemq-/bin/env
