obtaining authority to run list applications - ordinary users

Hi,
Some of my users would like to use the 'list applications' command to
view processes being run. But I do not want them to belong to the
SYSMAINT group or any other system group( DBADM/SYSCTRL/SYSADM). As
far as I know this is the only way one can use that command. Is there
any other way where I can give them authority/permissions that just
allows them to run the that command without having other system type
authority.

thanks

I have used the freeware 'sudo' tool to allow users to execute specific
commands (like list applications) with increased authority, this works
quite well.

There's a new group SYSMON_GROUP...not sure if it's on your fixpack level.

You could write a shell script that the could execute that would run
the command. Set the permissions to 711 so they could run it, but
not read the file. Just attach to the instance as the instance owner
and list applications in the script.
