'/sbin/service httpd restart' keeps the ORAHOME env var?  It shouldn't

in
/etc/sysconfig/httpd

add:
ORAHOME=/opt/ora  #or whatever
export ORAHOME
#anything else

then reboot.  Does it work?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
