Permission Problems

You must have sufficient directory permissions to run Oracle Orachk and Oracle Exachk.

Verify that the permissions on the tools scripts orachk and exachk are set to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x).

If the permissions are not set, then set the permissions as follows:
```
$ chmod 755 orachk
```
```
$ chmod 755 exachk
```

If you install Oracle Orachk and Oracle Exachk as root and run the tools as a different user, then you may not have the necessary directory permissions.
