can't you run a script on the oracle machine in oracle's cron, and report back with bb?

Subject: [hobbit] file monitoring permission problems



I am trying to monitor the integrity of some files on hobbit clients using the FILE md5 test.

But I am running into permission problems. The files are owned by user oracle and the file permissions are so strict, so that the hobbit user cannot even list the files.

This is confirmed when looking into the client data sent to the server:

...

[file:/opt/oracle/product/j2ee/applications/appl.ear]

ERROR: Permission denied

...

 

Is there an easy workaround without having to change file permissions, eg. running the file tests with sudo?

 

Regards,

 

Chris
