Hi!

We just installed Oracle 8i on a SUN 450 running Solaris 7. Our DBA wants Oracle 8 to be startup at boot time and shutdown when the system goes down. I created a script in init.d that look like as follows.

Begining of script

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in

        start)
                echo "Starting Oracle Database. . ."
                su - oracle "/opt/app/oracle/local/dbstart.sh"
                su - oracle "/opt/app/oracle/local/listener_start.sh"


                ;;


        stop)
                echo "Shutting Oracle Database . . ."
                su - oracle "/opt/app/oracle/local/dbshut.sh"
                su - oracle "/opt/app/oracle/local/listener_stop.sh"


                ;;


          *)
               echo "Error during Oracle startup"

esac

End of script

I tried to execute the script from rc2.d with no success and if I try from rc3.d then the CDE won't work at the console. I also want to shutdown from rc0.d.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there is a better way to accomplish this task??????

Thanks
