/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db/bin/osh: Can't raise ulimit. The mode of /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.

hello

We are getting this error below

 /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db/bin/osh: Can't raise ulimit. The mode of /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db/bin/osh should be 4711 and owned by root.

while running a batch script that performs a cold backup (shuts down the database, copies the files, restarts the database). I am not sure at what point this error is thrown yet as I can't replicate it myself. The script is executed as oracle oracle ulimits are all unlimited.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what  could be an issue here?

thank you
