Problem

When running Bamboo as a systemd service in RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 the PATH variable will not be automatically inherited by the Bamboo process.

This happens due to an OS restriction since systemd will not pass the PATH variable available for that user to any process started from it unless you explicitly pass the variable.

Resolution

Add and environment directive to your service passing the PATH values you want:

1. Edit the systemd configuration file for Bamboo

vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/bamboo.service

2. Add the following environment directive:

Environment=PATH=/opt/location_of_your_executable

3. Reload Daemon

systemctl daemon-reload

4. Restart Bamboo

systemctl stop bamboo; systemctl start bamboo
