How to set (class)paths for a Managed server?

Question

How does one configure the PATH and CLASSPATH and pass definitions (like "-Djava.library.path=c:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\bin")
to a remotely-started managed server?
The section in the WLS 6.1 AdminGuide.pdf that talks about configuring a managed
server's Remote Start tab says on pages 3-9 to 3-10 that, "If you don't specify
values for these fields and attempt to start the target server from the Administration
Console, the Node Manager will attempt to start the target server with the values
for these attributes that were used when starting the Node Manager. The Node Manager
will be able to start the Managed Server in that case if you specified the required
values on the command line when starting the Node Manager."
So it sounds as if I can get the java.library.path definition and CLASSPATH sent
to the server via the Node Manager startup command.
Does that work when using the Node Manager as an NT Service? Here is my Win2K
command file for setting up the Node Manager as an NT Service. Note that I'm trying
to tell it where to find the Windows native libraries (wlserver6.1\bin for wlntio.dll)
and the JDBC drivers (C:\SHADOW\jdbc\... and C:\Orant\jdbc\... ) :
========== BEGIN installNMNtService.cmd ================ @echo off
SETLOCAL
cd C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\
rem *** Set Classpath to load Weblogic Classes
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\lib\weblogic.jar;C:\SHADOW\JDBC\scjd12.jar;C:\orant\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip
rem *** Set Command Line for service to execute
rem *** %JAVA_HOME%\java will automatically be prepended.
set CMDLINE=" -ms16m -mx16m -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" \"-Dbea.home=C:\p\bea\"
\"-Djava.security.policy==C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1/lib/weblogic.policy\" \"-Dweblogic.nodemanager.weblogicHome=C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\"
\"-Dweblogic.nodemanager.reverseDNSenabled=true\" \"-Djava.library.path=c:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\bin\"
\"-Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress=111.111.111.123\" \"-Dweblogic.nodemanager.trustedHosts=./config/nodemanager.hosts\"
weblogic.nodemanager.NodeManager"
rem *** Install the service
"C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:EDANodeManager -javahome:"C:\p\bea\jdk131"
-execdir:"C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1" -extrapath:"C:\p\bea\wlserver6.1\bin" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%
ENDLOCAL
================= END installNMNtService.cmd ==================
But when I start a server remotely, it can't find the native libraries and it
can't find the JDBC libraries in the CLASSPATH. Otherwise, it can serve up HTML
pages at the correct port number so I know it's running.
When starting a managed server remotely via the WLS 6.1 console, how do I tell
the managed server where the native libraries and JDBC libraries are?
Thanks!

Hi,
The memory setting on the WC_Spaces managed servers can be seen as mentioned below.
ps -eaf | grep Spaces
Above command shows something like this at the top of the output:
/a01/app/oraweb/middle/jrrt-3.1.2-1.6.0/bin/java -jrockit -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Dweblogic.Name=WC_Spaces1 ...
