Hi - I have a newly built RHEL 5.2 machine and Oracle (10.2.04)was just loaded. I have a startup script that was provided by one of my coworker admins, which "works" but I need info on exactly where to put it, and whatever else needs to be done to correctly start/stop the oracle deamons. Would rc4.d be the right place???
Thanks a lot for the info... I did the last thing you suggested, and it looked good at face-value. Although when I shutdown or reboot the machine, it appears that Oracle does not shutdown correctly. After the machine comes up, I look in the Oracle logs and do not see any entry in there of Oracle shutting down. Oracle daemons DO get started though when the system boots....
If we shutdown Oracle manually, the Oracle logfile DOES get populated with shutdown info...
