I am running Jenkins from user jenkins thats has $PATH set to something and when I go into Jenkins web interface, in the System Properties window (http://$host/systemInfo) I see a different $PATH.
I have installed Jenkins on Centos with the native rpm from Jenkins website. I am using the startup script provided with the installation using sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start
Can anyone please explain to me why that happens?

Like if I need to inject a value within Steps/Script section, in Jenkins pipeline, I can define globally in the environment variables or using Jenkins project Configure General Check mark Prepare an environment for the run Check mark Keep Jenkins environment variables I can provide the environment variable in the ...
Jenkins Environment Variable is a global variable exposed through the env variable and used anywhere in the Jenkinsfile . Any value stored in the env variable gets stored as a String type. Environment Variables can be set either at the pipeline top level, at the specific stage level, or inside the script block.
Michael,
Two things:
When Jenkins connects to a computer, it goes to the sh shell, and not the bash shell (at least this is what I have noticed - I may be wrong). So any changes you make to $PATH in your bashrc file are not considered.
Also, any changes you make to $PATH in your local shell (one that you personally ssh into) will not show up in Jenkins.
To change the path that Jenkins uses, you have two options (AFAIK):
1) Edit your /etc/profile file and add the paths that you want there
2) Go to the configuration page of your slave, and add environment variable PATH, with value: $PATH:/followed-by/paths/you/want/to/add
If you use the second option, your System Information will still not show it, but your builds will see the added paths.
