database startup scripts: is ok to "su - oracle" instead of rsh?

edited Sep 16, 2010 4:55AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
 I'm working on configuring database startup scripts (utilizing chkconfig) for when the server starts. The new recommended method for this is to have the script run by root rsh to localhost and run dbstart. However, we don't allow rsh. I could setup ssh but before I do that I'd like to know if there are any issues of using the previous method of simply "su - oracle"; i.e., why does Oracle now recommend rsh instead of "su - oracle". Are there issues with starting a database having issued "su - oracle" from root?  
Thanks!
