Hi
You don't say explicitly but I assume you mean an AW51.
Since the startup scripts start the olwm on bootup and
the olwm is the parent of the cmdtool, what you are
seeing is the result of all the parent processes
that have led to the olwm startup. Most of the
environment variables are set in S99FOXBORO
in the /etc/rc2.d directory.
Does that help ?
