Hi every body,
I am trying to set the LANG environment variable so that when init launches my Tomcat server my web app uses the correct currency symbols. I first tried putting it in /etc/profile until I discovered that it is only sourced by login shells. So then I tried /root/.bashrc which should be sourced by non-login shells. This didn't work either.
I ended up putting in in /etc/init.d/tomcat where it does work. However, this seems like a hack to me. There must be a way to set a global environment variable that is accessible to init.
Thanks,
John.
The bootloader calls the kernel, the kernel calls init init calls /etc/rc.d/rc /etc/rc.d/rc calls each of the startup scripts in the runlevels.
So the earliest place I guess you could get it in would be to stick the "export VARNAME=VALUE" lines at the begining of /etc/rc.d/rc
That would be fairly global.
-Ben.
