/bin/sh

Is there a way to grab OS evironment variables?

For example:

#!/bin/sh
export opensimpx_serverhost="opensimpx.org"

---------------------
<property name="opensimpx_serverhost" value="${opensimpx_serverhost}"/>

But when I do this I have opensimpx_server as "${opensimpx_serverhost}" not 
"opensimpx.org"

Thanks
Matt

When I added:
<property environment="env"/>
I get this:
BUILD FAILED

Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Property doesn't support the 
"environment" attribute

I am using the debian package of ant wich is verision 1.2-1, is this feature 
only in version 1.3?

Thanks,
Matt

Read the docs on the <property> tag.   But essentially its like this:

    <property environment="env"/>

and then you'd have all environment variables prefixed by "env.".
