Description of problem:

Section 2.11.2 of JON 3.2.0 Installation Guide documentation on CSP instructs user to set environment variables in /etc/init.d script as follows:

RHQ_SERVER_HOME=serverRoot/jon-server-3.2.0.GA
RHQ_JAVA_HOME=/usr/

However, when set in this fashion, the variables aren't inherited by the rhq-server.sh script when it's run via start command->apache commons exec->rhq-server.sh resulting in the error "There is no JVM available" from the rhq-server.sh script.

In order for this script to inherit the environment variables when run as a service, they must be exported:

export RHQ_SERVER_HOME=serverRoot/jon-server-3.2.0.GA
export RHQ_JAVA_HOME=/usr/


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

JON 3.2.0.GA (Didn't see in version list above).
RHEL 6


How reproducible:

Seems to happen every time when configured as an init script, following instructions in Installation Guide (https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Operations_Network/3.2/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#starting-as-service-on-rhel)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install JON server following instructions from Installation Guide
2. Configure to run as service, following steps in 2.11.2
3. Run using 'service rhqctl start'

In this case, one of my requirements is that the server run as the root user, but I think I was also able to reproduce when running as another user as per Installation Guide suggestion.

Actual results:

RHQ_JAVA_HOME environment variable isn't inherited by rhq-server.sh script.


Expected results:

rhq-server.sh needs to inherit this variable, as per instructions in Inatallation Guide.
