Great!. What was the trick? (I'm sure others will run into the same
problem)

If you have a startup script from which you source .profile along with
something like .bashrc, you should have all the same environment
settings as when you login, but it depends on the OS and what's been
set.

I don't think there's currently any documentation for this. I added a
ticket:

  https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/ticket/1728

to make sure some gets added for 4.2. To do this properly, you will
need an init.d script (linux) or a launchd entry (osx). I know some
others have created something similar. Anyone up for contributing?
