Sory for being confused, but in what way does my suggestion not meet your need. If I can understand it, then I may be able to help.
I think that:-
- You are using ssh to connect to the server as yourself
- You want to then use sudo to run a command as the user oracle
is that correct? If so, does having the suggested
sudo rule (adjusted to consider my warning) help at all? One of us is missing something - and I'm happy to accept it is me, but I don't understand what it is yet. Can you explain a little more?
Perhaps a scraping of your screen as you run through would help me see it.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
