script. In other flavors of unix, runlevel 2 was startup multiuser, didn't think it needed a kill link. Thanks to all for your help!

I don't think u need to kill oracle (K?? link) when u enter runlevel 2 - u have to do it only for runlevels 0 and 6 (and eventually for 1).

when the system enters a runlevel (e.g. level 2) it first executes K?? scripts and then S?? scripts. The K?? scripts are executed only for the components that are already running (i.e. started by S?? scripts in the previous runlevel, such components are recognized by scanning the /var/lock/subsys directory) so even if u place the kill script for Oracle in the directory for runlevel 2 it will not be executed since Oracle was not started yet (if runlevel 2 is the default level for your system, it is the first level being entered)

and yes, runlevel 2 is the multiuser startup

hth,

Marin
