Hi,

I cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.

I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.

I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.

That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.

Waiting for your valuable inputs. Thanks in advance.

With Regards,

The OS logs system shutdown in /var/log/messages

Yes. I have already gone thru /var/log/messages, but I could not identify "dbora" has run or not at shutdown. But I can see messages "dbora" startup succeeded.

Also I have confirmed that, by executing "/etc/init.d/dbora stop" is running ok and also I can see shutdown.log in oracle home. This means OS level the script is not being executed during OS Shutdown (but at boot the script is executed!). So what could be the reason?

Thanks and Regards,
