Of course I checked that setting manually the env variables from terminal window as root worked correctly. Also. .bashrc worked correctly to launch the application as user. Why launching as root? It is another story, surely of no interest to anyone else than me. Hi If you are talking about the daemons that start up via /etc/init.d/* scripts, these are called by init which calls rc (in debian, might be different in other distro's), I don't think there is a standard way (debian has /etc/default/rcS which is sourced by rc) I normally change the init script for the daemon and add the env variables there > > Thanks for answering > francesco pietra
