What I want to do is not unique, except that our environment has a twist.
I want to ssh to a remote server and issue a sudo command to run a script. This isn't working, but you'll get the gist.
The sudo to oracle is fine. The script.bash sets up the environment variables needed to run the Oracle commands and runs a very rudimentary "asmcmd lsdg" to get information.
The problem is that the Oracle user's .bashrc or .bashprofile which gets executed by the "sudo -i -u" has a shell menu that prompts the logged on user (99% of the time it's oracle) to select some variables before dumping the session to a shell prompt. Since I'm scripting the commands to source my environment then run the Oracle commands, and running it via cron, I have to be able to ignore the menu from the profile.
As root (or even myself), I can't source the env variables from Oracle and run the script (no DB perms), so that option is out.
Is there any way I can use sudo or su on the remote system and bypass or break out of the bashrc to ignore the menu prompting so I can run my script seamlessly?

QUESTION #1:
I have this in my .bashrc file:
alias rm='rm -i'
Problem is, there are 3 files that I remove many times a day and would like this command to ignore these 3 files. In other words, prompt me on everything EXCEPT these 3 files.
Is this possible?
