Grid Control startup fails, installUser=%s_userName%

Oracle seems to have an uncommon sense of humor. Executing gcstartup after patching the grid control server to 10.2.0.4 (Linux x86) fails with:

/bin/su: user %s_userName% does not exist

I am not surprised, since this is windows’ environment variable notation, and unknown to my Linux shells. Solution: In the head of

/opt/oracle/grid/oms10g/install/unix/scripts/omsstup

replace

installUser=%s_userName%

with  the username you installed grid control management services as: In my (and probably most cases) it should look like

installUser=oracle

Hope it helps
