AIX

Friends ,

I am going to update the oracle version from '10.2.0.1.0' to '10.2.0.4.0' in AIX 6.1 . During upgradation it needs to run the following script as root user :

sh /usr/sbin/slibclean

But when this script is run then it shows the following error :

# sh /usr/sbin/slibclean
sh: /usr/sbin/slibclean: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.
# cd /usr/sbin
# ls -al | grep slibclean
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 1968 Oct 13 2007 slibclean

# pwd
/usr/sbin
# ./slibclean
# sh slibclean
sh: slibclean: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.

Would anybody plz tell me where is the problem ?

Waiting for your kind reply ... ...

AFAIK slibclean can only be run by root or privileged users and therfore should have its permissions at 700. I also think that it is an executable file that should not be called with

Code:

# sh /usr/sbin/slibclean

As root, what does

Code:

# /usr/sbin/slibclean <enter>

return?

sorry friend , no output is generated .

# /usr/sbin/slibclean
#

Well, that's just as it is supposed to be. I.e. it works.

Thx shockneck,

Actually when I run the oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset runInstaller , then it needs to be run the above script (slibclear)before running runInstaller .

According to your advice , I run the script like : /usr/sbin/slibclear

and after running this script , when I go to run the runInstaller , then it does not start . so that I think the above "slibclear" script is not running ?

In this moment , any idea plz ?

There is a difference between "slibclear" and "slibclean" you might notice.

I don't know "slibclear", but if it is a shell script (check with "file /usr/sbin/slibclear") you can either start it with "sh <scriptname>" or flag it as executable ("chmod u+x <scriptname>") first and then run it directly ("<scriptname>").

Probably "slibclean" (which flushes unused shared libraries from memory) is meant and the "sh" in front is just a typo.

I hope this helps.
