RE: Set an environment variable for an app.
I'm extremely rusty with all things Unix, and I've never played with Linux, but this might help. https://www.ccs.uky.edu/docs/cluster/env.html Philip Herlihy Email: phi...@herlihy.eu.com -Original Message- From: vnc-list-boun...@realvnc.com [mailto:vnc-list-boun...@realvnc.com] On Behalf Of Karen Thompson Sent: 21 May 2012 20:41 To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Set an environment variable for an app. Hi, I need to set an environemt variable for a program running via vncviewer.

I would think that you could just add it to the ~/.vnc/xstartup file just after the first line (the first line is typically #!/bin/sh without the quotes): export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31 (I removed a period from the end of that line assuming it wasn't meant to be part of the line.)

I am sure this Karen is something very easy, if I just knew how. man vncserver :- $HOME/.vnc/xstartup A shell script specifying X applications to be run when a VNC desktop is started. If it doesn't exist, vncserver will create a new one which runs a couple of basic applications. Specify whatever you want in there (its just a shell script).
