su - oracle logout 1

[watergrinder]

When I try to su - oracle from a script, it is automatically logging out. I debugged using set -x and can see "logout". Any ideas?

The following script always prints root

su - oracle 2>/dev/null
echo `whoami`

Take a look at the .profile in the oracle's home directory.
Do a [tt] grep oracle /etc/passwd [/tt] to discover the directory name.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the response.

oracle .profile is:

It looks normal. Is it the trap statement?

# Set up the terminal:
        if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
        then
                eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
        else
                eval ` tset -s -Q `
        fi
        stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
        stty hupcl ixon ixoff
        tabs

I guess the culprit is set -u
BTW, if the logging shell is a standard bourne shell, then this line is in error:
export DATAGUARD_ID=1000

[watergrinder]

Thanks. I commented them out both and still got the same problem.

It started printing a new error with the original .profile

su - oracle
stty: : Not a typewriter

< Copyright messages ....>

You have mail.
stty: : Not a typewriter
stty: : Not a typewriter
logout
+ whoami
+ echo root
root

 

[PHV]

stty: : Not a typewriter
Usually this error is raised when the standard input is redirected.
You may add a set -x command in this .profile and in /etc/profile.
BTW, what is the login shell of the user oracle ?

The login shell is sh /usr/bin/sh

There is this source line at the end of oracle .profile (after the export DATAGUARD statement):

# Set up HBF run-time environment
. ./dmeenv.sh

./dmeenv.sh is

PS1="[`whoami`@`hostname`] $ "

if [ -d /u01/app/dme/bin ]
then
    export dmeBIN=/u01/app/dme/bin
else
    echo "dmeBIN:/u01/app/dme/bin does not exist.\n"
fi
 
if [ -d /u01/app/lib ]
then
    export dmeLIB=/u01/app/dme/lib

 echo "dmeLIB:/u01/app/dme/lib does not exist.\n"
fi
 
if [ -d /home/cmds ]
then
    export dmeCMD=/home/cmds
else
    echo "dmeCMD:/home/cmds does not exist.\n"
fi
 
if [ -d /home/cmds/pid ]
then
    export dmePID=/home/cmds/pid
else
    echo "dmePID:/home/cmds/pid does not exist.\n"
fi

else
    echo "JAVA_HOME:Java installation does not exist on /opt/java1.3\n"
fi

And this is the total output:

So, as the export name=value is valid, /usr/bin/sh should be a korn shell or a bash (linux).
Have you some .*rc files in the oracle's home directory ?

yes

.cshrc is:

#
# Default user .cshrc file (/usr/bin/csh initialization).
 
# Usage:  Copy this file to a user's home directory and edit it to
# customize it to taste.  It is run by csh each time it starts up.
 
# Set up default command search path:
#
# (For security, this default is a minimal set.)
 
        set path=( $path )
 
# Set up C shell environment:
 
        if ( $?prompt ) then            # shell is interactive.
            set history=20              # previous commands to remember.
            set savehist=20             # number to save across sessions.
            set system=`hostname`       # name of this system.
            set prompt = "$system \!: " # command prompt.
 
            # Sample alias:
 
            alias       h       history
 
            # More sample aliases, commented out by default:
 
            # alias     d       dirs
            # alias     pd      pushd
            # alias     pd2     pushd +2
            # alias     po      popd
            # alias     m       more
        endif

.exrc is:

set autoindent autowrite showmatch wrapmargin=0 report=1
map  ^W   :set wrapmargin=8
map  ^X   {!}sort -b
map  ^[h  1G
map  ^[H  1G
map  ^[F  G
map  ^[V  ^B
map  ^[U  ^F
map  ^[T  ^Yk
map  ^[S  ^Ej
map  ^[Q   i
map  ^[P   x
map  ^[L   O
map  ^[M   dd
map  ^[K   D
map  ^[J   DjdG$
map! ^[A  ^[ka
map! ^[D  ^[ha
map! ^[C  ^[la
map! ^[B  ^[ja
map! ^[L  ^M
map! ^[Q  ^[
map! ^[R  ^[

 

[PHV]

.cshrc is for C-shell
.exrc is for vi
BTW, instead of who am i, try id, as who am i gives the login name, not the effective user name.
