RE: automatic startup and shutdown of LISTENER

>>>I have the following in both the /etc/init.d/dbstart and
/etc/rc2.d/s99dbstart files:
su - oracle -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ lsnrctl start<<<

Placing the command into single quotes should do the trick for you, ie:

su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start'
