The oscillation property of the semilinear hyperbolic or ultra-hyperbolic operator L defined by

is studied. Sufficient conditions are provided for all solutions of uL[u] ≤ 0 satisfying certain boundary conditions to be oscillatory. The basis of our results is the non-existence of positive solutions of the associated differential inequalities.
