Hallo Charles,
how did you start strace ? Do you have used –f (follow forks) option “strace
–f ….” ?

Subject: runInstaller and strace: how to figure out why client exits
We are attempting a silent install of 10.2.0.1 to be patched up to 10.2.0.4 on
linux. A dba did this the first time and was asked about space issues (you
know, space is getting full, do you want to continue). The dba exited the
session without responding, and now subsequent runInstaller operations simply
exit immediate, even though the runInstaller screen dump says to "Please
wait..."
What can I tell from the strace? I cannot see where runInstaller is looking for
any previous opened files (ie, lock file). On top of that, we have no lock
files whatsoever, and no lock* directory in oraInventory or oui.
Thoughts?
