Tomcat start script / Can't find CATALINA_BASE

[Stephan Schöffel]

Hi,

I have a problem here with running tomcat from the start script in 
/etc/init.d. The root-account somehow does not know the CATALINA_BASE 
variable i exported in /etc/profile like this:


CATALINA_BASE="/var/apache-tomcat-5.5.27/conf"
export CATALINA_BASE


The normal user knows the path, though:

webuntisuser at webuntis:~$ echo $CATALINA_BASE
/var/apache-tomcat-5.5.27/conf
webuntisuser at webuntis:~$

webuntisuser at webuntis:~$ sudo echo $CATALINA_BASE
/var/apache-tomcat-5.5.27/conf

webuntisuser at webuntis:~$ sudo bash
root at webuntis:~# echo $CATALINA_BASE

root at webuntis:~#


Any idea, what to do?
