How to start java midlet from lin script

[rpconnect]

yes, they both run the profile script, but only with the ". /home/native/.profile" do the environment variables get set properly.

to prove this try the following:

- start any java app from the application manager (normal starting proceedure) and note what the java id number is (if you do a ps uxa you should see something like /tmp/realjava/kvm -launch 519, or whatever the id number is)

- stop the java app and try starting it by entering the command by hand (i.e. type "/tmp/realjava/kvm -launch 519); you should notice that the app wont start because the environment variables are not set correctly

- try setting the environment variables with "/home/native/.profile" and again try launching the java app by hand; again you will notice that it will not start

- set the environment variables correctly by typing ". /home/native/.profile" and start the java app by hand, this time it will work.

edit: I was responding while the last post was being made, but it looks like you have it figured out.

@maxx_730: i'm not 100% sure, but i dont think that is correct. if .profile was just a script that you wanted to execute then /home/native/.profile would execute it, but it would not update the environment variables in your current shell. the space between is required to make sure that the "exports" in the .profile script are actually exported to the current shell.

for example, go to /home/native and first do "./.profile" (this will execute the .profile script) then "echo $JAVA_HOME_FLASH" (JAVA_HOME_FLASH should be exported by the .profile script). without the additional ". " (dot and space) the result of the echo command is blank. but if you do ". ./.profile" (with the space between the first and second ".") the echo command will result in "/diska/.system/java"

Your probably right, my bash knowledge isnt exactly up-to-par with yours i think
