OK, thanks for your response and I can do that, BUT I have a followup question for everyone: I am starting my server using an init.d script which brings the service online in runlevel 3, which seems to me like the "normal" way I would want to start and use this server. If I have to login and set an environment variable, then restart the server under the logged-in user, what good is this, really? Am I correct that the design of this database management tool makes it practically useless unless the server is always started from a login console? Or am I missing something? Thanks, Paul.
