Accessing environment variables in startup scripts
Hi All,
Can somebody tell how the value of an environment variable can made available in startup script in Linux? I have added JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_10 in /etc/profile and a shell script testEnv in /etc/init.d/. The script testEnv looks like this: #! /bin/sh echo JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME When I run script with command # /etc/init.d/testEnv it displays the values of JAVA_HOME which was set in /etc/profile. But when the command # service testEnv is run it does not display any thing. Can somebody tell why it doesn’t displays anything OR Where should we define JAVA_HOME so that it should be visible to startup scripts OR How the script should be modified so that it displays the value of JAVA_HOME set in /etc/profile or somewhere, when script executed at boot level ? Regards, Sanjeev Kumar. |
