Hi all,

Goal
----
I want to execute "emctl start blackout " from target database server and not from Grid Control server.

I want to execute this command from the target database cold backup script before starting the Cold backup so that Grid Control does not send out database/listener down alerts when the database is offline for cold backup.

Problem
--------
If I execute "emctl start blackout " from target instance Home/bin on target database server using the target server emctl command, I get error "EM Configuration issue. $ORACLE_HOME/_ not found."

If I execute "$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl start blackout " from the target database server, I get error "ksh: $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl: cannot execute"

How can I execute the emctl and may be some other commands of $AGENT_HOME/bin from the target server?

Thanks in Advance.
