Operating system requirements

The operating system user running Precise agents on monitored UNIX servers should have the following characteristics:

• Password, other than NULL.
• Authorization to use the cron facility (only required if you intend to install an Oracle AppTier Collector on the respective server).
• On Linux, read and write permissions to the /dev/null special file.
• On Linux, an initial korn shell (KSH). Otherwise, the installation fails. In addition, many of the shell scripts that are included in Precise require KSH.
• Unless you have purchased the AT&T version of KSH, you must download PDKSKH, a korn shell clone in the public domain. If you have Red Hat, you can download the Intel version of PDKSKH from the Red Hat Web site. For other Linux distributions and platforms, search for "pdksh" at: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pdksh.

• Make sure that the user limits are as specified in the list or higher (the user limit can be changed and configured using the ulimit command):

  • time (seconds) = unlimited

  • file (blocks) = unlimited

  • data (kbytes) = 26144

• For installation on Windows, the user must have Local administration privileges.
