All, I've got to set up a number of apps to use java. Problems come with the fact that as you may know not all jvm's are created equal. Some of these apps run on 1.2 some on 1.3 and others on 1.4 ... then to top it off depending on the distro the directory could be different, and each box is running all 3 apps at different times. So to address this I'm creating a "startup" script that locates the correct jre or jdk as needed and does the correct path insertion. So what I need to do.
1. discover the location of the jre/jdk I need No problem with this one a case statement is all I need. 2. Set the appropriate path ... see above. 3. Reset the path when the app is closed... Ok... step 3 is the sticking point. If I open an app using 1.2's jre then an app using 1.4's I'm winding up with a confused app because I've got two java commands in the path. or at least this is what I anticipate happening. Am I barking up the wrong tree here or.. if I'm really lucky is this one of those things that happens right without intervention on my part. James
