I don't understand the point you are making. If an
MW administrator can set environmental variables, then, of course, what you suggests
works. However, Brion mentions in his Tues, Aug 11, 10:09 email that not every MW
installation admin can set environmental variables and Aryeh states in his Tues, Aug. 11,
10:09am message that some MW administrators only have FTP access to the installations they
manage. So, as I understand it some administrators cannot use the tactic you describe.
If they can run commands on the command line, then they can use
environment variables. If they can't, then your suggestion doesn't
help.
If there are administrators who can execute command
lines, but cannot set environmental variables (e.g., they are confined to use a special
shell)
There aren't. That would make no sense.
