<DIV><SPAN class=186040116-10042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>The question
is: How do I configure a "system-wide" environment variable in Linux so
that my Nagios process (which starts as a service) has access to them? I
am running Redhat V8.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=186040116-10042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll admit it, I'm a
Linux newbie, I figured most this stuff out (with help), but I'm stumped
now. In order for the check_oracle plugin to work, it has to be able to
access the ORACLE_HOME (amongst others) environment variables. I figured
out how to make these available to my shell consistantly, but they aren't
available to the NAGIOS process.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
