[Squirrel-sql-users] User's CLASSPATH does not inherit in your Linux startup script...

[David C. <Dav...@ve...>]

Just FYI:

	On Win-XP, your product startup script nicely
finds drivers via the CLASSPATH environ variable.

	But, on my Linux box (Debian, using BASH shell),
it does not.

	I debugged the startup script and found my own workaround.
My solution is to add the option '--login' to the first line
of the script, so it now reads something like:

#! /bin/sh --login

(I believe there is a shorter-form option of just '-l'...
which is the letter 'el', but in many fonts, it can be
easily visually mistaken for a 'one'.)

This makes 'sh' run as a 'login' shell, and THEN it will
read the system's '/etc/profile' (where I have my CLASSPATH
defined).

I'm all set...happy with this workaround.  You folks may
well come up with a better more precise fix for the general case.

Cheers and regards...
