Will is exactly correct. the profile files are intended for interactive
sessions. Cron behaves in the same way for example.
I'm somewhat surprised that you are setting variables for the agent
process? What is it that you achieve by this?

I read the manpage, you could get away with setting BASH_ENV as
"~oracle/.bash_profile" first, then restarting the agent.
Alternatively, there could be other config files you supply for the agent

I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on.

If I restart the management agent in OEM and we run the agent under the
account "oracle", I'd expect at some point "~oracle/.bash_profile" to be"cat

because we have a couple of important env variables set in
~oracle/.bash_profile and when checking for these using something like
/proc/<AGENT'S PID>/environ | xargs -n 1 -0" I don't see these variables.home
I've checked this under RHEL and Oracle 11g / 12c. I first noticed the
issue when applying the latest agent PSU to a group of agents via an OEM
plan, then validated the same situation happens if, under the agent's
page, I restart it in OEM. Normally all management agent restarts are
performed in a standard script we have which runs through stop, start,
clearstate, upload, status for the given agent, among other things.
