put your script in /sbin/init.d

i.e. /sbin/init.d/dbstartup

an then make a symbolic link from /sbin/rc2.d

/sbin/rc2.d/S570dbstartup -> /sbin/init.d/dbstartup

This will startup the database whenever the system enters run-level 2.

Rainer

Take a read of the document in:
/usr/share/doc called start_up.txt
this should explain it all for you.

Configure a script to autorun at system bootup:

1. copy and create script on /sbin/init.d (from /sbin/init.d/template)

2. Create symbolic links to the script in the appropriate run-level script directories, as follows:

# ln -s /sbin/init.d/script_name /etc/rc0.d/K10script_name
# ln -s /sbin/init.d/script_name /etc/rc3.d/S99scipt_name

If dbstart and dbstop are the scripts that start or stop the database, then you can create a small script like this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
#
#export all the path variables you want
#
#
case "$1" in

"start_msg") echo "Starting Oracle dababase" ;;

"start") /path/to/script/dbstart ;;
"stop_msg") echo "Stoping oracle database" ;;
"stop") /path/to/script/dbstop ;;

*) echo "Usage: myscript start | stop" ;;

esac

exit 0

Name the script something (myscript here) and put it in /sbin/init.d directory with 555 permisions.

Go to /sbin/rc3.d if you want it to start on runlevel 3 and make a softlink to the above script named S999oracledb for example. The S means that the script should start in this runlevel. The number is the sequence of executing the scripts.

To have the database shutdown automatically when you rebbot or shuting the system down, make a softlink to the script in /sbin/rc2.d or rc1.d and name it Kxxxoracledb. K stands for kill or stop. xxx is again the sequence. Make sure you run it (and stop the database) BEFORE other important things stop running.

hope it helps,

Nikos

A script should like this:
#!/bin/ksh

case "$1" in

start_msg)
echo "run startup_script"
;;
start)
(add startup script here)
;;
stop_msg)
echo "run shutdown_script"
;;
stop)
(add shutdown script here)
;;
esac

The "S" means it is a start script, a "K" means it is a stop script. When your system boots up it will run all the "S" scripts (sometimes dependent on flags set in /etc/rc.config.d files)at particular run levels, hence the rc2.d, rc3.d, etc... directories. The "K" scripts do the opposite, as the system goes thru the run levels to shutdown it will run the "K" scripts to stop processes, apps, or daemons. The numbers next to the "S" and "K" are the sequence they run in.

Like the folks earlier stated it's all in /usr/share/start_up.txt

Attached is the doc we used. It is still valid since we are at 11.0.
I really appreciated the test procedure noted. We have entered many startup scripts. A db startup was simply one of them.

Best of luck.
