Hi all,

I have a program someone wrote for me a while back that uses java. It ran great on my old server.

Now I have moved to a new server, a raq 4i, and need to get the program restarted.

First time I tried to run it, I typed:

====
cd /the/path/to/script
java scriptname
====

and the server answered

====
bash: java: command not found
====

After looking for jre in the directories and finding it wasn't already installed, I installed
j2sdk-1_3_1_01-linux-i386.bin as per the instructions on the sun website, and that seemed to go ok.

Again I went to run the program:

====
cd /the/path/to/script
java scriptname
====

But still got:
====
bash: java: command not found
====

So I asked around a bit and someone told me I needed to put the path to the java bin into the path variable in etc/profile. So I changed the path in profile to:

PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/local/bin/jre1.3.1_01/bin"

Tried running the program now and I get a slight change:
====
sh: java: command not found
====
('sh' instead of 'bash').

What does the change from bash to sh mean?

Any help you can provide to get this working would be greatly appreciated

Chris
