II would have to say , based on my look at the start up script, and tests,
that it does NOT use $JAVA_HOME that bash users see. You can look at the
code yourself. Please point out to me which line in the installed
/etc/init.d/elasticsearch bash script grabs $JAVA_HOME. Now, I KNOW that I
have it set, because I checked continously while trying to fix this
problem. Tomcat actually has the EXACT same problem (at least, the latest
tomcat7). Originally, I fixed it by going to /etc/default/tomcat7 and put a
duplicate of $JAVA_HOME value as I currenlty had in .bashrc file. I did the
same thing to /etc/default/easticsearch.
But I found and easier way. It might even set $JAVA_HOME setting in one
place as one would hope, but I'll have to check when I next reboot.
Put 'JAVA_HOME="/your/java/home" into /etc/environment. (You CANNOT use
variable expansion, i.e. JAVA_HOME="$SOME_OTHER_JAVA_HOME". Only a new
value ) Apparently, according to this http://askubuntu.com/a/150815/21268,
it work for all the services that get launched at any time after boot..
All the other places to set it only apply if an app is launched in a bash
shell.
HOW exactly in the startup script elasticsearch and tomcat7 are getting the
value of JAVA_HOME, I have no idea. It might be one of the sourced fiiles
early in the script. But even if it IS getting the value that way, I don't
see a test for JAVA_HOME that would make it skip testing all the locations
it tests.

Its actually using $JAVA_HOME by default in the bin/elasticsearch script.
The deb init.d script tries to find it automatically, based on a list of
common locations, and if its not found, it will use the regular $JAVA_HOME
one.On Sep 16, 2012, at 5:42 PM, gearond <gea...@sbcglobal.net <javascript:>>
