differences between service command and running command directly

[ESGLinux]

Hi again,

Very very strange.

The service command executes:

env -i LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin TERM=xterm
/etc/init.d/httpd status

If I run this command from the shell, it runs ok, but If I don´t
give LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 I get the error.

I´m going to continue investigating...

Greetings,

ESG
