Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?
Befoe modifying did you check the permissions of files you did this?
chown root $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob chmod 4750 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob chown root $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.orachmod 640 $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
because by default those are the permissions, you should not have to do that manually
thanks
