Hi,
Solaris 8, Oracle 9i listener

It seems that anyone who has a login on Solaris can shut the listener down. I have tried with a non-dba userid and could stop the listener.

The default file permission for ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl is 751, and for ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora file is 644. I asked Oracle if I could change them to 750 and 640 respectively and they said that you should not change the defaults since they are verified against the system.

So I password protected it. However to stop a password-protect listener you need to do the following interactively: run lsnrctl, issue "set password" command, put in the password, issue "stop", issue "exit".

I need to implement this stop in a Shell script so that I can call the script at the server reboot time. Do you know how to supply a password to lsnrctl set password command in a script? Have attempted with the script but have not got it worked yet.

Thanks
Long
