Environment Variables

General Behavior

Any Janus job that has arguments will have those arguments available as environment variables. This allows you to use the arguments in your scripts as you would any other environment variable.

The variables are alaways uppercased and prefixed with JANUS_ARG_.

Example: If you have an argument called NAME, you can access it in your script as $JANUS_ARG_NAME.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, $JANUS_ARG_NAME!"

Special Cases

When receiving an incoming webhook to trigger a job the payload of the webhook (for POSTs) will be available to the job as the environment variable JANUS_ARG_WEBHOOK_PAYLOAD.
