error in running script

[Waqar Razi]

I have an oracle script on hpux server.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 788 Jan 2 2008 uc4_report.ux

It runs fine on server using root id. When we try to run through schedular (uc4), its giving the following error.

Error:

20081003/100703.111 - U2003043 Invalid 'setgid()' call. Error code: ('1' - 'Not owner'



Can any one give me some guidance?

Hi Wagar:

Your schedular process isn't running as 'root' and therefore cannot perform a 'setgid()' to change the real, effective or saved-group of the process. See these manpages for more information:

The schedular is using the root passwd to execute it. When you use the same root user to login to the server and run as root, it runs fine.

Is there any problem with the owner and group. Its owner is oracle and group is oinstall

[OldSchool]

so root started uc4, correct?

what do you run at the command line (that works)?

what command (exactly) is in the scheduler?

[Waqar Razi]

/home/oracle/scripts/uc4_report.ux

[OldSchool]

well, the script is chmod 777 which, security-wise, isn't good, but what happens if you:

chmod 6755 uc4_report.ux

then have the scheduler run it?

>OldSchool: chmod 6755 uc4_report.ux

If it has to run at root, you also need to change the owner/group.
