Hi!

Im trying to create a startup script for my WLS environment. The script will be run as ROOT, so I guess I have to change user in the beginning of the script.

su - oracle

Put how do I handle the password input?

If you are root you don't need the password.

Hi!

Instead of starting a new thread, I continue in this one. Its the same script. Im trying to start OPMN (Weblogic Forms&Reports) using this:

nohup su $WLS_OWNER -c "$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/homedbtest/bin/./opmnctl startall" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

Does not work, I guess the script dont change to the Oracle user. At least that what the log files say. Any ideas (the previous issue dont need the .sh to be run by the Oracle user)?

Regards
H
