Hi, I'm not running WO 5.3.x under Linux (but I'll try soon), just 5.2. Frist you need to setup NEXT_ROOT not NEXT-ROOT ! You can setup system wide variables by editing /etc/profile to add: (work with Bourne compatible shells) : NEXT_ROOT=/opt/Apple export NEXT_ROOT for testing do : # source /etc/profile # echo $NEXT_ROOT You also can do it localy for a specific user with ~/.bash_profile (depend on the user shell) or ~/.profile (could be sourced by /etc/profile) But as you may add an init script /etc/init.d/myservice for starting wotaskd & javamonitor you could export the NEXT_ROOT variable in this script (or in /etc/default/myservice as it is automiticly sourced,it is very closed to the Debian wrapper script ( http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.9 ) Actualy under Linux, I have created a user for runing WO 5.2 stuff (it's cleaner than under root) and I setup NEXT_ROOT in sh script.
