PCP ENVIRONMENT

33       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
34       file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation,  the  file
35       /etc/pcp.conf  contains  the  local  values  for  these variables.  The
36       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative  configuration
37       file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
