Re: Oracle database auto-start on Unix

On my experience as a unix sysdamin, init is the process managing the start of services, configuring it requires root privileges.....

*but*

if (as oracle user) you create a crontab (...really this requires root to put oracle into /etc/cron.allow....) with a periodic (1 minute) check for dbms active or not and, in case start it, you can achieve the task to start oracle db at least 1 minute after the system boot; in any case, the problem will be how to close the db before shutting down the system.

My question is: why your sysadmin cannot configure the autostart?
