Correct answer: A, B, G

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and G highlight the functionalities of opatchauto, including its requirement for root privileges, the ability to perform shutdowns and restarts during patching, and its role in applying interim patches. Options C, D, and E are incorrect as they either misrepresent how patches are applied or the operational requirements of opatchauto, while F is incorrect because opatchauto generally applies patches in rolling mode, not nonrolling mode.
