Hi, I need to get the environment variable ORACLE_SID from the OS. I know this can be done with the following: $blah = env("PATH") However, the ORACLE_SID variable is only set under the oracle user account. So I would need a way to login as the oracle account first to retrieve the ORACLE_SID variable. Is there anyway to get the environment variable from a user''s account
