Hi,
Can you please let me know why the next command fails - as root:

su - oracle -c "/data/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/lsnrctl start"

Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.6 Generic August 1997

LSNRCTL for Solaris: Version 8.0.5.0.0 - Production on 13-OCT-99 15:56:43

(c) Copyright 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist 
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error 
TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist 

Solaris Error: 2: No such file or directory

but I am able to lanch:
su - oracle -c "/data/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/lsnrctl status" and
su - oracle -c "/data/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/lsnrctl stop"

The $PATH and $ORACLE_HOME have been set for root.

As oracle user lsnrctl start, stop and status work without any problems. But I'd like to be able to start the listener as root.

Many thanks.
