There are many software, which needs a restart after installation. For me there were quite a few. One of the annoying ones is Oracle XE. After installing, if you don’t restart, you wont get the sqlplus command under your username.
The workaround is , after installing oracle-xe, open a terminal and ..
1. stop oracle
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
2. Drop to root
sudo su
3. Reload the links
ldconfig
4. reload profile
. /etc/profile
5. Exit root
exit
6. start oracle-xe
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
That’s it. This workaround has been tested on Ubuntu and Fedora and can be applied for any software.
Seems intersting…..I want to test in one of SAP server running oracle in the back end…..
