To: "General Red Hat Linux discussion list" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thursday, 16 July, 2009, 5:19 AM Hi All,I have RHEL 5.3 running on my system. I have a customized .bash_profile script in /home/oracle directory which sets ORACLE_HOME and other variables. When I login to the system as a Oracle user the .bash_profile script does initiate , but when I login as a root and do a "*su oracle*" , the ..bash_profile does not run. Any ideas what may be wrong, or what files I should be looking at..? -- Thanks!
