Thanks Adam
Sorry about the slow response - I've been a bit distracted...
That doesn't work as expected.
The environment is Debian lenny.
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 invokes /usr/bin/jsvc ($DAEMON), as below:
$DAEMON -user "$TOMCAT6_USER" -cp "$JSVC_CLASSPATH" \
-outfile SYSLOG -errfile SYSLOG \
-pidfile "$CATALINA_PID" $JAVA_OPTS "$BOOTSTRAP_CLASS"
$MIFOS_CONF has the expected value when jsvc is called (I renamed the
executable and wrapped it in a script with the original name to dump the
environment so I could check), but this doesn't appear to be getting through
to Mifos.
The root cause appears to be that jsvc is launched in the context of
$TOMCAT6_USER, which has the value "tomcat6", and user tomcat6 is set up
like this:
tomcat6:x:112:114::/usr/share/tomcat6:/usr/sbin/nologin
This means that Tomcat can't run a shell. Good for security, but it doesn't
help in this case!
I don't have an Ubuntu server to test on. Does Ubuntu have a different way
of launching Tomcat to Debian that preserves the environment?

Graeme
