I need to setup environment variables for application servers. For example: ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, JAVA_OPTS, CATALINA_BASE.
I know how to set system environment variables in Windows, but no ideas for Linux.
I start application servers manually, just assign and export them, then start application server (Tomcat, Oracle). But how to setup environment variables for Linux services, which start automatically during system startup?
UPD
I use Centos 5.4. server users shell is /bin/sh
