I have java POS app that runs on Linux. I have installed just what I
need to run the app. The app does not require a window manager, as it
takes over the entire screen.

I have scripted what I need and am basically starting X using startx.

I have modified startx to su to my user and start the java program.

However the problem I am running into is I am calling startx before the
env has been setup. Startx can't be found without specifying a path.

It seems that I am calling startx before any of the files in /etc/env.d.
I tried startx after local, but it seems those files are only used when
a user logs in.

1.) I basically have two options. Find out how to automatically log a
user in via the command line.

2.) Add to my init script that calls startx all the needed paths,
classpaths, and other env variables that need to be in place for my java
app to run.

I need to do this before 5:00 PM EST. I know I can rig it to work
between now and then, but I would like to do it the proper way, if there
is one.
