Normally sudo is used to grant limited permissions. The SA would allow you to use sar and for you to access it you would type sar and be prompted for a password and you would enter the appropriate password.
John -----Original Message----- Sent: 31 July 2003 16:45 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Just got this email from my SysAdmin when I asked for access to sar. Anyone know what he is talking about? We are on AIX 4 and 5. "I cannot give you direct access to the sar command. Because of the parameters the command allows, it would be equivalent to giving full root access. If you could give me some details on the kind of information you would like to be able to collect, maybe we could set up some kind of command to obtain it."
