Try to put the application in a shell script. The shell script will get its environment variable from /etc/profile if configured properly.

I asked this question before but received no replies, I will ask again,
if anyone knows…

Is it possible to create environment variables in linux/unix like you
would in DOS using CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT? That is, a variable that
is accessible to any subsequent running program?

I vaguely remember reading sometime back that this was not possible
because of fundamental differences between DOS/Win and Unix. While I do
know you can set environment variables in /etc/profile, the problem is
they are only accessible to a logged in user, not the system.

Thanks.
