This is probably missing the point but these lines in the output look odd to me

> [oracle_at_server ~]$ . oraenv
> ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? ses
> ORACLE_HOME = [/home/oracle] ? /u01/Oracle/ses1

Surely if . oraenv had worked correctly there wouldn't have been prompt for ORACLE_HOME. This probably just means that oratab hasn't been set up rather than a pointer to the actual problem but I just thought I'd point it out.

Cheers,

Ian

hello Ram,
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 119158 Aug 10 17:19 nohup.out -rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Aug 10 18:18 mtstatus.log

why the below file is owned root..are their many others..

-rw------- 1 root root 862 Oct 5 15:17 sqlnet.log

moslty becuase of sqlnet permission issue..

SQL> connect / as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SQL> exit

a random guess do you have any other script running, owned by anyother user such as root and that starts stops database or other services..may be that is changing the ownership at runtime, if they are set proprely..

can you change rwx permission of oracle_base/OH to oracle:oinstall user

thanks...subodh
