[johan]

I've made a shellscript which I run as root...

Everything works BUT i receive theese 2 error messages
when running orawpd command to create a passwordfile.


In the script I su to user oracle and then execute orapwd..

Scenario one:

su oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwSID password=***** "

Error message:
Unable to find error file

------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario two:

su - oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwSID password=***** "

Anyhow my script creates a working password file...

In scenario one: the oracle environment will not be set up properly - the oracle user will inherit the root environment - so variables like ORACLE_HOME will be undefined.

In the second scenario, your command will be executed properly. The reason you are getting the message, I believe, is that you have a "stty" command in the oracle ".cshrc" file - move this command to the oracle user ".login" file and the error message should go away.

Hope this helps - let me know the result please!
