I'm writing a script to allow the sysadmin's to kill any active sessions for a
particular database user.
If the script is called as root, I re-invoke it as oracle. However, 'dirname'
doesn't seem to be working as expect and I have no idea why or how to get
around it. A little bit of googl'ing didn't help either so I turn to old
faithful. :)
#!/bin/sh
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
export ORACLE_SID=xxxxxxx
export SCRIPT=`basename $0`
export SCRIPT_DIR=`dirname $0`
echo "${SCRIPT_DIR} is the script dir."
# Re-invoke this script as oracle if invoked as root
CUSER=`id |cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1`
if [ "$CUSER" = "root" ]
then
su - oracle -c "${SCRIPT_DIR}/${SCRIPT}"
exit $?
fi
<rest of script>
The script output is:
". is the script dir."
The script is located in /home/oracle/scripts/sql/topsecret
Anybody know what the deal is?
I'm guessing it has something to do with sub-shells or something but I don't
know how to work around it. I guess I can always hardcode the path but I would
prefer not to.
Thanks for any help!
