please tell us a few words about the error message you got or why do you think there is a problem at all? What does "cannnot able to do so" really mean?

There is no error at all thrown.

The script however expects that the process should be run as user oracle.

However the process are run by root user.

Hope this helps you to understand.

Thanks.

/bin/su oracle -c 01startoidservers.sh
should change the user id (to oracle). If it can't do that it should drop an error message.
just put set -xv at the beginning of your initial script to see what's happening (that will not solve this issue, just print some additional info)
