Permanently Setting Environmental Variables
I installed Java on a server and anytime I have to start or stop a service that requires the $JAVA_HOME variable I have to manually set it with the export command such as:
How can I permanently set this variable?Code:export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java-jdk1.6.0_21
Have some smileys:

Its JIRA built into a tomcat web server so there is no init script. The service has to be started manually with a shell script. Can I just add the export line to the user's .bashrc?

Yes this will run when the user logs on. You could also add it to the script that you run manually.
