That requires way more Unix knowledge than I have and we don't run HP anyway.
If it was simply the number of locks, why would you be able to start the database manually? In your cron job, is this the last database that is started? If it is the number of locks, I would think the last database started would consistently have the problem. Just some thoughts for you to consider.

Dennis,
I had set user profile prior to submit the job.
It works fine for other databases.
Is there any unix command to know the number
of files locks currently used ?
I have nflocks = 1000 (unix command : kmtune -q nflocks)
and wondering how many locks currently available.
Thanks
Rivaldi

Try to figure out what is different when cron starts the instance vs. your starting the instance. Some parameter is getting set or not getting set. For most Unix versions the "env" command dumps all environment variables. Do that for your interactive session and then add that to the script cron is executing and then manually execute the script.

Hi Listers,
Oracle 8174, HP 11.00
I got the following error when starting up the database thru crontab job at 2 am in the morning. It happened after we shutdown the unix machine.
Errors in file /u07/app/oracle/admin/sfmsprod/bdump/dbw0_1705_sfmsprod.trc:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 13 - see DBWR trace file ORA-01110: data file 13: '/u05/oradata/sfmsprod/fmidx_02.dbf' ORA-27086: skgfglk: unable to lock file - already in useHP-UX Error: 46: No locks available
I increased the nflocks parameter from 200 to 1000 as Metablink said.
But still got the error.
Any idea why ?
At 8 am when I get in the office, I startup the database manually and
everything
was OK.
Thanks.
Rivaldi
