You don't add oracle to the wheel group. You need to allow your account to execute as oracle. Say your account is bob, then the entry in /etc/sudoers (or perhaps under /etc/sudoers.d/* could be something like:-
Code:
bob   ALL=(oracle)   NOPASSWD:   /path/to/you/script

..... and on the command line as bob you should be able to run:-
Code:
sudo -u oracle /path/to/your/script



Does that help?

Just thinking about this in the wider question, you might (on you local machine) have to do this:-
Code:
ssh bob@server "sudo -u oracle /path/to/your/script"

.... or perhaps:-
Code:
ssh -t bob@server "sudo -u oracle /path/to/your/script"

.... or even:-
Code:
ssh -tt bob@server "sudo -u oracle /path/to/your/script"

This would open the SSH connection, sudo run the script and exit back to your local machine. The additional of one or two -t might be needed to make it set up a terminal connection else sudo might refuse to run.

Superb !..Thanks for great help, I have tested it from local machine to one of the remote ,it running fine Smilie..

...is that possible for an admin to restrict a remote user to login without su password authentication (even though I have followed your solution suggestion)...if there is method, then I think I am gonna tell him , if you restrict me I wont work Smilie
