Look for more information about /etc/oratab and /etc/inittab.

In /etc/oratab, it should indicate what databases to be startup automatically when the operating system starting up, called by a command in /etc/inittab, i.e., "rc.local" or "rc2". The command file contains:

	 su - oracle "-c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
         su - oracle "-c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start

The Oracle Installation Guide has these information.

To have better protection or consistency in your database, shutdown your database before turn off the power of your computer. Received on Sun Aug 16 1998 - 04:52:32 CDT
