i’m using openSUSE 11.2 from official site and no mod to kernel file.
i usually use command “service” to control the services running. however i recently found a service can’t run normally.
i am a chinese user and storing many files with chinese name. of course, filename and filesystem are all utf-8 encoded.
i’m using a soft to deliver these files. this soft is the abnormal soft i mentioned above.
when i use “/etc/init.d/xxx start” to start it, everything works fine, but when i use “service xxx start”, problem happens: it cant find any file with chinese characters.
that’s strange.
so i open “/sbin/service” to see what breaks that, and i get it.

the red sentences are the reason which cause this problem. it reset all enviroment variable and use its own.
i’m curious about why it needs to do that? i comment and modify the relate codes and things return normal.
