Thanks for the reply but I don't think it answers my question. On 9.3 (and also on 9.2 since you mention it) the Java environment variables are set automatically by /etc/profile.d/alljava.sh. There's no need to set them manually in individual profiles. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking specifically about the environment used by cron jobs. The JAVA_* variables are not set in the environment cron uses and neither does it read .bashrc or .profile Obviously, I could source one or other of these scripts in my cron job, but I'm wondering what the best/accepted method of doing this is?
