you can use an action definition like:
action=eval %dir (glob("~")); write %dir/some.log %s
or better yet, start SEC with the -intevents option,
and have a rule to set this variable just once at SEC
startup/restart:
type=single
ptype=regexp
pattern=(SEC_STARTUP|SEC_RESTART)
context=SEC_INTERNAL_EVENT
desc=Set user home dir variable
action=eval %dir (glob("~"))

If you are starting SEC from sh or bash, you can pass
a shell variable to SEC with 'env' or 'export' shell
commands. For retrieving these variables in SEC rule
files, I would recommend to use the above rule. All
environment variables are stored in the perl %ENV hash
and you should have no difficulties with retrieving
them (for example 'eval %path ($ENV{PATH})' sets %path
to the value of the $PATH variable).
