There appeared to be a permissions issue on the directory /u02/app/grid/ which is owned by root:root with 750 permissions so the first time it ran it said permission denied. After changing the permissions to 755 on that directory, it now says there is no output.

-bash-5.0$ id
uid=100(oracle) gid=501(oinstall)

as root it's showing as expected
