Hi all,

I'm a bit confused by some OEM/Linux concepts. I'm trying to run a user defined job which is a simple script:

#!/bin/ksh

env > /tmp/envfile

However, my preferred credentials on the node are for myself, WBUCHAN.

The /tmp/envfile is created, owned by WBUCHAN, but contains lines like:

USER=oracle
and
LOGNAME=oracle

I'm confused. Is this job running as "wbuchan" or as "oracle"? (This is 9.2 on Linux) This is probably just my ignorance of Linux environment settings. I'd be very grateful is somebody to clear up my confusion.

The reason I need to know is to set things up like SSH, so that the jobs can copy off some application-specific information to another machine. The job seems to try to use oracle's keys but accesses them as wbuchan (and hence runs into file permission problems).

Thanks
- Bill.
