privileged commands do not work if:

Note:
Set the RAT_EXPECT_DEBUG
and RAT_EXPECT_STRACE_DEBUG
variables only at the direction of Oracle support or development. The RAT_EXPECT_DEBUG
and RAT_EXPECT_STRACE_DEBUG
variables are used with other variables and user interface options to restrict the amount of data collected during the tracing. The script
command is used to capture standard output.
As a temporary workaround while you resolve remote problems, run reports local on each node then merge them together later.
./orachk -local
./exachk -local
./orachk –merge zipfile 1 zip file 2 > zip file 3 > zip file ...
./exachk –merge zipfile 1 zip file 2 > zip file 3 > zip file ...
