9.1.2 Setting External Jobs Ownership for Installations on HP-UX

On HP-UX platforms only, complete the following procedure to set external jobs ownership to the low-privilege user extjob:

1. Log on as root.
2. Change directory to the Oracle Database Oracle home:

   # cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/
   

3. Open externaljob.ora with a text editor, and find the parameters run_user and run_group.
4. Set run_user to the external jobs user (extjob), and set run_group to a low-privileged group, such as other. For example:

   run_user=extproc
   run_group=other
   

5. Save the file.

   Note:

   Modify externaljob.ora only as root.
