Environment vars - where to set?

[Darren Wheatley]

Hi,

I've been reading a few posts here in this subject and wondered if anyone
could give me a definitive answer to the following questions:

1. Personal environment variables, e.g. JAVA_HOME: I am setting them in
~/.gnomerc

Is this correct? Can I also tailor PATH there, set aliases etc?


2. Server environment variables, e.g. could also be TOMCAT_HOME:

Where do I set these so that server processes can pick them up?


Thanks

D.
