to get the sparc to run things for you on boot up, you put stuff in the /etc/rcN.d/ files (so much easier then the good ole rc.local :)...

Anyway, i use:

/etc/rc0.d/K100oracle /etc/rc3.d/S100oracle

and they both contain:

# Start/stop processes required for oracle  

case "$1" in
'start')

        su - oracle -c orastart
        ;;
'stop')
        su - oracle -c orashut
        ;;

esac

I use orastart and orashut (my own scripts) so i can add things to the oracle startup/shutdown easily (without getting root access to do so).... Anyway, my orastart looks like:

rm -f /var/tmp/.oracle/*  

svrmgrl << EOF
connect internal
startup
exit
EOF   lsnrctl start  

webstart  

cd /usr/oracle/ows2/bin  

make_owa_error  

ctxstart &

------------- eof ----------------------------------

and my orastop looks like:

svrmgrl << EOF
connect internal
shutdown immediate
exit
EOF   lsnrctl stop  

webstop

------------------ eof -------------------------------

Hope this helps.... basically the above show you how to start and stop the server and SQL*net. The other scripts in there relate to my webserver. I just wrote scripts to start em and stop em...
