Where are exactly the limits on what is off-topic and what it isn't? Even if this is an Oracle list and I agree that we should talk about Oracle here, I think the subject might be of interest to most DBA's, specially those working on Unix servers. It's not like if the question was about how to bake a cake or something. Also, I presume you will agree that any good DBA *must* have good OS skills, which makes me think that this question is not completely unrelated. Unfortunately, I don't know either the solution for Noor's question, so if anyone can help I would be glad to know the answer :-) Thanks!
