External job creation ORA-27370

Question

Hi Team,
In oracle documentation it is mentioned
The CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privilege is required for database users who want to execute jobs that run on the operating system outside the database. By default, this privilege is granted to all users who have been granted the CREATE JOB privilege.
So as per documentation it is not mandatory to be sysdba could yo please make sure the user who run the job is having  CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privilege
However although user has CREATE EXTERNAL JOB
running the following
When running the following statement below:
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (job_name => 'test_shell',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'ls -l',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',
enabled => TRUE,
COMMENTS => 'Calling shell script from Oracle');
END;
getting
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-27370: job slave failed to launch a job of type EXECUTABLE
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:accessing extjob wrapper failed with
status: 13
ORA-27301: OS failure message: Permission denied
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sjsec 3
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 185
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 486
ORA-06512: at line 2
using the following it worked
Create the script /tmp/run_test.sh with:
#!/bin/bash
date >> /tmp/run_test.log
b. Change permissions to 755 /tmp/run_test.sh
c. Execute the script and confirm that the file /tmp/run_test.log is created.
d. As sys execute:
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_program
program_name => 'RUN_TEST',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => '/tmp/run_test.sh',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'testing script'
end;
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
schedule_name => 'EVERY_MIN',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',
comments => 'Every 1-mins'
end;
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job
job_name => 'RUN_TEST_JOB',
program_name => 'RUN_TEST',
schedule_name => 'EVERY_MIN',
comments => 'test script ',
enabled => TRUE
end;
So is it mandatory to use sysdba?
Thanks in Advance,
Jo.
