newbie: run script permissions

English Install/Boot/Login
1

so, I feel really a newbie…
I have an error… I would like to start /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh script

> . /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
bash: /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh: Permission denied
> id
uid=1000(john) gid=114(oinstall) groups=33(video),100(users),114(oinstall)
> ls -l /etc/profile.d/orac*
-rwx–x— 1 oracle oinstall 2418 2010-05-08 11:37 /etc/profile.d/oracle.csh
-rwx–x— 1 oracle oinstall 3179 2010-11-16 19:54 /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
>

what I’ve missed? I wanted to put permission 710, so that oinstall accounts could just run the script.

If you do not have read permissions then you cannot run it. There is no
way for the system to let you run commands in a script it cannot read:

sudo chmod 750 /etc/profile.d/orac*

Good luck.

seeing as the"orical" BD is the owner is the owner of the “oracle.sh” script
run it as “orical” user
but root SHOULD have the group “oinstall” already added to it

a normal user should not be able to run that script

You are not supposed to run directly anything in that directory.

It’s unfortunate terminology on the OP’s part. He’s actually trying to source the oracle profile file and not run it, but everybody picked up on that. In fact what’s needed is read permission, not execute permission. So mode 640 is sufficient.

Ah, I understand. Yes, it is the missing read permission.
