In a case like the example above, %{script_path} will be expanded by
rpm when the %post scriptlet is run.

If you are thinking more of how to get the current oracle group for
use in %post, it might be something like this:

%post
oracle_group=$(groups oracle | awk -F : '{print $2}' |awk '{print $1}')
chmod $oracle_group %{script_path}

Still, I'd look to avoid needing to do this entirely.
