How to set the enviroment variables of the session DBus when starting in an init script?

I like to make sure that the DBus in session mode is running before starting my Application deamon. The sh script under /etc/init.d/ looks like:

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:           myAppD
# Required-Start:     $local_fs $syslog mountkernfs
# Required-Stop:      $local_fs $syslog mountkernfs
# Default-Start:      2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:       0 1 6
# Short-Description:  Starts myApp
### END INIT INFO

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

start() {
    echo Starting myApp

        # start the dbus as session bus and save the enviroment vars
        if [ -z ${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID+x} ]; then
                echo start session dbus ...
                eval $(/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax)
                echo session dbus runs now at pid=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID}
        else
                echo session dbus runs at pid=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID}
        fi

    pgrep myApp
    if [ "$?" = "0" ]
    then
        echo myApp already running
        exit 0
    fi
    myApp
    echo myApp started successfully
}

stop() {
    echo Stopping myApp
    kill -SIGHUP `pgrep myApp`
}

status() {
    pgrep myApp > /dev/null && echo running
    pgrep myApp > /dev/null || echo stopped
}

case "$1" in
    start)
       start
       ;;
    stop)
       stop
       ;;
    restart)
       stop
       start
       ;;
    status)
       status
       ;;
    *)
       echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"
esac

exit 0

The script works fine. But the global environment variables(DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS) are not set globally. I found out that service has some constrains regarding environment variables.

My script is executed via the System V init system. When running it at the console the environment variables are not set as well.

Any ideas how to solve that problem?

This problem can be overcome by setting the enviroment variables direct for the process:

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:           myApp
# Required-Start:     $local_fs $syslog mountkernfs
# Required-Stop:      $local_fs $syslog mountkernfs
# Default-Start:      2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:       0 1 6
# Short-Description:  Starts myApp
### END INIT INFO

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

start() {
    echo Starting myApp Deamon
    if [ -e "/var/run/dbus/sessionbus.pid" ];then
                DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=`cat /var/run/dbus/sessionbus.pid`
    fi

    if [ -e "/var/run/dbus/sessionbus.address" ];then
                DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`cat /var/run/dbus/sessionbus.address`
    fi
    # start the dbus as session bus and save the enviroment vars
    if [ -z ${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID+x} ];then
            echo start session dbus ...
            eval "export $(/usr/bin/dbus-launch)"
            echo "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID}">/var/run/dbus/sessionbus.pid
            echo "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}">/var/run/dbus/sessionbus.address
            echo session dbus runs now at pid="${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID}"
    else
            echo session dbus runs at pid="${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID}"
    fi

    pgrep -x myApp
    if [ "$?" = "0" ]
    then
        echo myApp Deamon already running
        exit 1
    fi
    DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS} myApp -d
    echo myApp started successfully
}

stop() {
    echo Stopping myApp Deamon
    kill -15 `pgrep myApp`
}

status() {
    pgrep myApp > /dev/null && echo running
    pgrep myApp > /dev/null || echo stopped
}

case "$1" in
    start)
       start
       ;;
    stop)
       stop
       ;;
    restart)
       stop
       start
       ;;
    status)
       status
       ;;
    *)
       echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"
