Allowing non-superuser to run cmhaltpkg

[Kirk Dahl]

Is it possible to have a non-superuser run cmhaltpkg or cmrunpkg, such as Oracle?

Hi Kirk,

This is exactly what sudo is designed to do. To let any specific user or group member run specific root-level commands & *only* those commands.
Highly, highly recommended.

Yes, you can.

A secure way to do this is using sudo.

Get sudo from here..

Rem the man page. It is explained in details. Do visudo and give oracle perms to start cmrunpkg and cmhaltpkg.

Yes, you could configure sudo to allow a regular user to run the commands although allowing someone who is a MC/SG novice to run any cmxxxx commands would scare me to death.

Hi,

One another way is to setup "Restricted SAM". Run "sam -r" as the root and give permissions for the user oracle to start and stop the packages.
