Question re Linux + Oracle

Just been informed that with Red Hat server there is a directory - /var/log/subsys - that is used on an "init 6" to force an orderly restart of Oracle. Apparently, if there is a "touch" file in there called "oracle", an init 6 will cause the "rc" shutdown and startup scripts to kick in. Otherwise, all that happens is a "kill" of the oracle processes.

Has ayone been able to verify this? Or even find it in other Linux dists? My Suse is strangely silent on any of this.
