Yeah, its java 2 - 1.4.2_14. Any of the java 1.4's would have done for
our purposes. In fact, what we installed was a little over the top for
us but it was j2sdk-1_4_2_14-solaris-sparcv9.
Ok
What i have seen so far, with a little help from my friends is the
following.
normally three variables have to be set
JAVA_HOME
PATH
CLASSPATH
where CLASSPATH can also be set in the launch script for the
application.
and JAVA_HOME is not always used.
I am not total sure about the above two things.
for BASH.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2 <-- example may not be true to
ur system
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} <-- example may not be true to ur
system
export CLASSPATH=
${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/rt.jar <--
example
For SH don't place the varables in ${} and u may have to use the
following syntax
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2; export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
for ksh the following is used. and dont place variables in ${} there
might also be a .kshrc file.
set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2; export JAVA_HOME
in BASH this goes to .bashrc
in SH or KSH this goes in .profile or .kshrc for KSH
for SH and KSH and I believe BASH, you could also put it
in /etc/profile
the /etc/profile is read before the ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (the ~ or
$HOME indicates the users home directory) file so that any changes in
the users .profile file would take preference over the /etc/profile.
One might also look at /etc/skel/.profile or /etc/skel/.bashrc but
remember.
/etc/profile is used every time anyone logs in
/etc/skel/.profile or .bashrc is used when a new user is created for the
first time.
In any case those two scripts should only be edited by the system admin.
Of course you find the users default shell (used by crontab scripts as
well) by checking
cat /etc/passwd | grep <username>
anyway that is my understanding, as it is.
Is this correct ?
Thanks Eddie
