Thanks so much for your advice. My Unix platform is HP UNIX 64 bit. I am runing this shell script on standby database to delete applied archivelog files from primary and standby both.

I tried to use getent command. But it seems not exist on HP UNIX machine. So I tried to use pwget and grget as this:

Code:
> pwget -u /etc/passwd

I got

Code:
>root:x:0:3:System Administrator:/home/root:/sbin/sh

Please advise.

On the Linux box, I run getent

Code:
>getent passwd, Then I got

>oracle:x:501:501:Oracle Administrator:/home/oracle:/bin/bash

I comment out "PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin export PATH", then I run again. I got this
