Define temporary variables for a pattern allowlist

Define temporary variables by assigning values such as executable paths, config file paths, and so forth. Defining temporary variables ensures that runtime commands are successful.

About this task

If a Linux command executable relies on an undefined temporary variable, the command fails at runtime.

For example, for the command $pathToCmd "/log/acc.log", if a value is not defined for $pathToCmd, the command will fail.
