Commands /etc/init/boot.local get started before some environment variables get initialized

  • 772

I have OpenSuse 11.4.

I start some on-boot scripts inside /etc/init/boot.local.

Where could I move those scripts so that they would be started after all (most) environment variables got initialized?

These scripts need to be started really once, so things such as /etc/profile.local aren't candidates.

I try to start Sonar, which searches for Java in some strange way (instead just by look up JAVA_HOME), and it fails to find Java (logs don't tell me exactly why). From command line, after boot, it can be started (as root and as user).

I suppose, there are some environment variables which get initialized inside services. Can it be that way?

EDIT: sonar.sh from sonar/bin/linux-x86-64
EDIT: sonar.log from sonar/logs

environment-variables startup boot shell-scripting init.d

    I'm not familiar with openSUSE, but in my opinion, the best way is export the environment variables before starting the services in /etc/init/boot.local.

    Does JAVA_HOME/bin/ is already in your PATH?

  2. Normally global variables are not initialized in init-scripts. The variables you need get propably initialized in your shell by /etc/profile.local or some other shell-configuration file.

    If a java is being found from the shell where is it located?
