Exporting at boot time on Kubuntu Dapper Drake

While editing bootmisc.sh, I've found that my edit doesn't work. Here's what my full bootmisc looks like.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          bootmisc
# Required-Start:    $local_fs hostname
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs

        #       before system startup is complete.

        if [ "$DELAYLOGIN" = yes ]
        then
                echo "System bootup in progress - please wait" > /etc/nologin
        fi

Purple indicates my edit.

Even if you can't help me, just say something so I know that people actually look at this.

johngreenwood · 02-18-2007, 05:02 PM

something, sorry, I couldn't resist.

I don't know much about scripting, but couldn't you do this somewhere at the beginning of the file

Code:

CLASSPATH=/downloads/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/common/lib/servlet-api.jar
JAVA_HOME=/downloads/j2sdk1.4.2_13/

This is what I usually do to assign a variable in a script. I may be horribly wrong though.

Well, it didn't work. You were close, though. At least you tried.

Oh well, I am sorry I didn't help you, but maybe there is something useful for you here http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
