Hi,

For Oracle installation on unix/linux, we will be prompted to run a script 'root.sh' from the oracle inventory directory.
this script needs to run the first time only when any oracle product is installed on the server.

It creates the additional directories and sets appropriate ownership and permissions on files for root user.

Regards,
Balaji
