startup issue

navin — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 19:31:15 GMT

Hi,
I was trying to setup some scripts under the /sbin/init.d .so that the app (oracle) will start automatically. But inorder to run the script the oracle environment variable should be set or the .files should be executed by su - to oracle. How can i do this ,sure so many of you have encountered this and probably have the resolution.Thanks in advance

1. Install the script named oracle in the /sbin/init.d directory.

2. Make symbolic links in 2nd and 3rd run-levels for stopping/starting Oracle:

ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle /sbin/rc3.d/S900oracle
ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle /sbin/rc2.d/K100oracle

3. Set variable ORACLE_START_STOP=1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/oracle file

hi again,

one easy way to get your environment variables correct is code your startup script accordingly. below an extract from one of mines:

...
'start')

# source the system configuration variables
if [ -f /etc/rc.config ] ; then
. /etc/rc.config
else
echo "ERROR: /etc/rc.config defaults file MISSING"
fi

# Check to see if this script is allowed to run...
if [ "$ORACLE_START_STOP" != 1 ]; then
rval=2
else

# Execute the commands to start your subsystem
echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/lsnrctl start "| su - ora817
echo "/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/sqlplus /nolog <
