performance is not a issue. i want oracle to start app processes after it starts the db and shut down the app processes b4 the db shuts down. the app processes are owned by different userids. it would be nice if i could pass in the passwd to su - appuser. oh well, i have a work around. right now, root does it all but rather have oracle do it.

that's true....you can ssh to the same machine you're on...but you've got
the encryption/decrytion overhead to consider...that might impact
performance of whatever task he's trying to accomplish.

check ssh and pubkey-auth.
this avoids having a pwd in shell-history or scripts

Is sudo the only way for a non-root user to su w/out being prompted for
a password? For example, from oracle user account, I want to su -
appuser and somehow pass in the passwd. Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks,
Gene
