Mon box weirdness: we started to fail APEL, RGMA and RGMASC SFTs last night. I started trying to restart services and found they were all failing because of a java sdk update (from 1.4.2_08 to 1.4.2_12).

This is bizarre because this update happened ages ago. Why start failing now?

I also had to update the JAVA_HOME in no less than 5 locations:

/etc/java.conf
/etc/java/java.conf
/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf
/opt/edg/etc/profile.d/j2.sh
/opt/edg/etc/profile.d/j2.csh

Now how stupid is that?
