ORACLE_HOME Listener auto-started with GRID_HOME operating system user on a Standalone Setup

Ferchichi AchrefSep 12 2025 — edited Sep 12 2025

Hello,

I have 2 LISTENERs, each running on a different OS user and Binary Home on an ASM Standalone auto-restart Grid Setup:

– oracle user / ORACLE_HOME

oracle 6815 1 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:01 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER02 -inherit

– grid user / GRID_HOME

grid 6806 1 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 /u01/app/grid/19.0.0.0/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -no_crs_notify -inherit

Adding both LISTENERs to the GI Setup:

$ srvctl config listener -l LISTENER
Name: LISTENER
Type: Database Listener
Home: /u01/app/grid/19.0.0.0
End points: TCP:1521
Listener is enabled.

$ srvctl config listener -l LISTENER02
Name: LISTENER02
Type: Database Listener
Home: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4
End points: TCP:1523

$crsctl stat res -t

ora.LISTENER.lsnr
ONLINE ONLINE ora STABLE
ora.LISTENER02.lsnr
ONLINE ONLINE ora STABLE

After rebooting the server, both LISTENERs have been auto-started with the grid user :

grid 6806 1 0 Sep11 ? 00:00:00 /u01/app/grid/19.0.0.0/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -no_crs_notify -inherit
grid 6815 1 0 Sep11 ? 00:00:02 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER02 -inherit

Can you please help me figure out why ORACLE_HOME LISTENER has been restarted as a grid user process instead of oracle user?

Am working on a RHEL8/11.2 DB/19c GI environment.

Thanks.
