[06-04-07 06:46]: I'm trying to run a Java program from a cron job and have discovered that JAVA_HOME and friends aren't set. What's the best way to set them for cron jobs?
I'm presently on 9.3 but will be moving to 10.2 shortly.
add: JAVA_HOME=
Thanks. I was trying to avoid hardwiring and instead would like to make use of the Suse-defined Java configuration mechanisms if I can.
i.e.
is not something I invent, it's something the system invents, but it fails to let cron know. Cheers, Dave
Since we switched to jpackage-style packaging, the currently used JRE is always located at: /usr/lib/jre (/usr/lib64/jre on x86_64 and ppc64) and the JDK at: /usr/lib/jvm/java (/usr/lib64/jvm/java on x86_64 and ppc64) those are symbolic links to the chosen JRE/JDK and changed by calling: update-alternatives --config java and update-alternatives --config javac ... so setting them is not a big problem, since they should always work.
