[hobbit] file monitoring permission problems

[chris]

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Adding the hobbit user to the oracle group is unfortunately not an option,
as the permissions do not even give the group permission to the directory,
but only the owner itself.

 

When you suggest running a script as oracle from cron, I presume that we are
talking outside of the hobbit environment, or is there still a way to keep
server side configuration, etc?

You can add the user "hobbit" to the oracle unix group. I think it's the
fastest and simplest way
to fix your issue.


That also reduces your database security, and I'll bet your DBAs wouldn't
allow it.  Better to have the oracle account run the script from cron and
pick up the output from a neutral location.
