Dear Friends,
I have to use the follwoing script for auto startup oracle database in my Redhat ent. 4 server , but its not working . I have to keep it into the follwoing directory :

"/etc/rc.d/"
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/"
"/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/"
"/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/"
and give the permission 755 & also change the follwing :

vi /etc/oratab

*:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:y
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:y

And . my oracle .bash_profile is the following :

##################bash_profile#################################

TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

What does it say? If nothing, maybe run as "sh -x /path/to/script 2>&1 | tee /tmp/script.log".

chkconfig <script_name> on

I have a small oracle RAC cluster running here on RHEL4.5, I didn't build it, but if you need the content of any files, just ask me.
