The secret is in 'alternatives', here is what I do in my kickstart scripts (mind the wrap): # Remove Sun added links rm -f /usr/bin/javaws rm -f /usr/bin/jcontrol # Add Sun Java to alternatives alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 1000 --slave /usr/lib/jvm/jre jre /usr/java/default --slave /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/bin/javaws --slave /usr/bin/jcontrol jcontrol /usr/java/default/bin/jcontrol --slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/java/default/bin/rmiregistry # Set Sun Java as the preferred Java environment alternatives --set java /usr/java/default/bin/java This should work even if you upgrade the Sun Java version. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
