Setting Java path for root
 

I've got a java installer script which needs to be run as root.

My normal user can run java (as I edited the .bashrc with the path)

Does root have such a similar setting, because when I run my java app as root, I get an error that java could not be found.

You set java for root exactly as for a normal user.

where will i find the .bashrc file for root? In root dir?

java path
 

If you want to put java in root's PATH permanently, the /root/.bashrc is a good place to do it.

Dont forget to make sure permissions are set properly: "chmod u+x /root/.bashrc"

You can also set the PATH each time it is needed, just do "export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_PATH"
where $JAVA_PATH refers to your java's bin directory
