Full Discussion: Su to user from root
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Su to user from root Post 302094077 by mahendramahendr on Wednesday 25th of October 2006 03:21:44 AM

Even in unix "su - " do not pass env variables to the new shell... it is just "su"

Code:
     To become user bin while retaining your previously  exported
     environment, execute:

     example% su bin

    To become user bin but change the environment to what  would
     be expected if bin had originally logged in, execute:

     example% su - bin

You might be using ksh in your script, but check the default shell and profile that gets loaded when you do "su" or login for oracle user...

In unix it might be loading the correct profile what you wanted but in linux it might be loading some bash profile which don't have correct settings.. compare both profile files in unix and linux
