How about "Your Work"?
Last time I looked it's rather hard to run svrmgrl without access to
the command line. So long as you don't want to start or stop the
database this probably won't have any effect.
Checking free disk space is also simpler with "df". You can, perhaps,
memorize the nubmber of blocks on every device and compare them to the
free space reported by Oracle each morning.
Simplest method would be to say "no we don't need it now, what is the
pager number of someone we can use if we do need things done?" Make
a point of paging them every time you need something from the shell,
day or night. That person will, I'm sure, be happy to compile a list
of the trivial things they've been forced to do that the DBA should have
done for themselves at 3am...
