SHELL=/bin/sh

with and without $ there is NOT change.

thanks,

Suggest you post your .profile so we can look at it and see if it's bombing out for some reason.

You might want to post the oracle entry from the password file (if you are not using a shadow file, remove the password from the second field) and a listing of the oracle home directory permissions/ownership.

you need to change oracle user shell to korn shell
to be able to use
export DISPLAY=128.61.168.151 in your .profile

Try this manually

issue ksh
then
export DISPLAY=128.61.168.151

if this work without any error message that means
you need to change oracle user shell.

you can change the shell by issuing
usermod -s /bin/ksh oracle
on sun solaris machine
or
edit /etc/passwd file and change oracle shell to ksh

ladies and gentleman this is how my oracle user's
.profile looks like.

where xxx.xx.xxx.xxx is the ip address.

must be ip address and host name or just ip?

i will appreciate your time what to remove/add.

thanks
rs

$ cat .profile

ORACLE_SID=voyager
ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/oracle
ORACLE_ADMIN=${ORACLE_BASE}/admin/${ORACLE_SID}
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/9.2.0
ORACLE_TERM=xsun5
NLS_LANG=american_america.WE8ISO8859P1
ORA_NLS33=${ORACLE_HOME}/ocommon/nls/admin/data
TNS_ADMIN=/var/opt/oracle
PATH=/usr/ccs/bin${PATH}.:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:/usr/X/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib

export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_ADMIN ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_TERM NLS_LANG
ORA_NLS33 TNS_ADMIN PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

DISPLAY=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:0.0
export DISPLAY
xhost +xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
{ORACLE_HOME}\bin\dbassist &e

As far as the DISPLAY - can be a hostname or IP (not both).

When you enter the env - what happens?
I got the following while using your .profile

$ env
ksh: env: not found


I then ran /bin/env and saw the variables. (The only change was setting ORACLE_HOME to /export/home/unixops). You might want to check that your PATH is being set correctly. Otherwise, I don't see anything 'strange'.

$ /bin/env
_=/bin/env
HZ=
PATH=/usr/ccs/bin/usr/bin:.:/export/home/unixops/product/9.2.0/bin
NLS_LANG=american_america.WE8ISO8859P1
ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/unixops
LOGNAME=unixops
ORACLE_SID=voyager
TNS_ADMIN=/var/opt/oracle
ORACLE_ADMIN=/export/home/unixops/admin/voyager
DISPLAY=10.140.6.7:0.0
SHELL=/bin/ksh
ORACLE_TERM=xsun5
ORA_NLS33=/export/home/unixops/product/9.2.0/ocommon/nls/admin/data

PWD=/export/home/unixops

ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/unixops
LOGNAME=unixops


i am sorry but i am not a unixops user.
as a new bee i ask for a suggestion and not to leave my system for others. I get the impression that caps are looking for you.

thanks for the help!!!

Rsh,

No, the cops are not looking for me. The unixops account is on my test server (my workstation). I did not connect to your server but copied what you posted (the .profile) and put it in the home directory of my unixops account. Then I tested it.

If you are still having problems, you can post back or ask someone at your site.

Regards.
