The default value for Java – JAVA_HOME seems to override :/etc/profile. The value of the d/java.sh setting

I created a file /etc/profile.d/java .sh that includes (among other things) lines of code: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1 .6.0_30. However, when I log in via SSH or restart the linux Centos 6.2 server, I always see:

[root@host3 /etc/profile.d]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/local/jdk

It’s a new installation and server, so not much else has been done. It seems that the java.sh file is executing on reboot or SSH login, however, the value of JAVA_HOME is somehow overridden by the default value of /usr/local/jdk. There is not even a directory jdk under /usr/local.

Any idea how to correct this? You need to set the value of JAVA_HOME for all users, as you did in java.sh.

Update 1:

I CHECKED THE /ETC/PROFILE FILE AND SEARCHED FOR THE TEXT JDK AS WELL AS JAVA, BUT FOUND NEITHER. I also checked /root/.bash_profile and it shows up as follows:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH

Also, if I use java.sh, everything is set up correctly. But if I restart the server, JAVA_HOME goes back to /usr/local/jdk.

Check the /etc/profile file or .bash_profile/.profile in your home directory.
