Yeah, I meant the packages, and in which order they were installed, combined 
with when the service was started. The "hbase" command loads the same settings 
as the daemon, since it is started using the same scripts. The only explanation 
I have is that the daemon has an outdated environment, due to it already 
running. Have you tried restarting them?
