$ grep oracle /etc/passwd; grep dba /etc/group Check if any Oracle processes are running:
$ ps -ef | grep ora If all else fails, ask the DBA. Report message to a moderator | | | |

Account Moderator | | | Oracle owner may not be named "oracle".
SYSDBA OS group may not be named "dba". I think Ana's answer is the best one. Regards

Account Moderator | | | Sorry, I didn't mean this.
"More reliable way to get the answer" might be a better  way to say what I meant. Regards

Registered: April 1998 | Senior Member | | | | Neither solution is 100% "reliable". For example, a client-only install will not have an "oracle" executable. One should use a combination of the above (and possibly some other) techniques and hope for the best. Report message to a moderator | | | |

Account Moderator | | | Oh yes, you're right, I too much work with data server and forgot client one.
