Re: linux environment question

For consistency you could always add the following to your script. That would set up the environment the same as a console mode start.

    ORACLE_SID=yoursid
    export ORACLE_SID
    export ORAENV_ASK=NO;
    . /usr/local/bin/oraenv
    export ORAENV_ASK=YES;

That way you wouldn't have any discrepancy between startups and shutdowns.
