Re: [LUG] Ubuntu and Environment Variables

[Jon <jonathan.holloway@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yep am looking to upgrade to Dapper very shortly, I just wanted to get everything sorted out under Breezy to start with.  Surely sudo $JAVA_HOME=n will just set it for the current session.  I want to set it automatically everytime I start ubuntu so it's available for all users, in the past on Centos I've edited /etc/.bashrc and added it in there via export.

Cheers,
Jon.

You should upgrade to Dapper. Breezy is long-since obsolete.

I want to setup a bunch of environment variables that are available to
services (Tomcat, JBoss) when I boot Ubuntu.  My naive
understanding is that anything placed in .bashrc or /etc/profile will be
available on a per user basis.  That's fine but I want to set an environment
variable for all users, e.g. JAVA_HOME.  Any ideas how I do this?

I think that "sudo $JAVA_HOME=n" may do it.
