Some mature shell scripts for integrating the database and listener into an active/passive cluster can be found at:

http://www.unixlabplus.com/unix-prog/rc.oracle/rc.oracle.pdf http://www.unixlabplus.com/unix-prog/rc.oracle/rc.listener.pdf

The are identified as Solaris/VCS compatible but in fact should work on most Unix-flavored platforms, including RH clustering.

I suggest the listener be set up as a separate cluster service from the database in all cases.
