Does /etc/profile when the system starts up or does it only execute when
a user logs in? I need to set my JAVA_HOME variable for Tomcat when the
system starts up. In my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file I have:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java.sdk
export JAVA_HOME
but when I try to startup Tomcat from the command line as root I get:
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined
This environment variable is needed to run this program
I "echo $JAVA_HOME" and it give me blank lines, as if $JAVA_HOME was
never set. I am doing this right, aren't I?
