su - oracle takes longer than usually SOMETIME

[Hanry Zhou]

but not always. Same when we run lsnrctl, SOMETIME takes longer. These are two occasions we have found so far.

Can anybody please where i should check out?

thanks,

The most likely explanation is that the system is very busy but it could be hostname resolution or something in the .profile. There are just not enough data. This would be a very good time to use Glance to see what is happening on a system-wide basis during both good and bad times.

Check oracle user's profile. does it checks something? Any code that does some checking bewfore timing out/failing and then proceeds??
Is user a nis/local user?
If nis any problems??

Is user's home directory is NFS?

The system is quiet, and not too many activities. Resources Util's are not high as far as I can see from Glance.

It just happent recently, and based on the DBA, they did not change anything in .profile.

- NIS is not used.
- home directory is local file system.
- it stuck on something before .profile. .profile itself went through fast.

Before .profile /etc/profile is checked.

Anything in that code that waits/does some checking etc??
