Common issue for this is missing PATH to the commands.
If you execute the scrips as any user you have a path to used in script binaries.

Use full patch in script - like /usr/bin/ping

or set PATH with appropriate values.

Please provide the output of:

ls -l /sbin/init.d/dbora

You should note that scripts have to be shut down in the reverse order to that in which they are started. To achieve this, you should make sure your K and S numbers add up to 1000.

Well, that's not real helpful. What didn't work? Did you get any error messages? Was anything displayed on the console during the reboot? Did you check the /etc/rc.log file to see if there were any messages there?

Hi Shabir

Try to put it in rc3.d directory. and restart the server.

hi Shabir,

this seems to be a known issue. Try above run-level 2.

hope this helps!

hi again,

please refer to metalink note: 1074016.6 - 'dbora' does not work on Redhat linux.

Solution:
You will need to change the link to run level 3.

From:
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora

To:
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc3.d/S99dbora

Explanation:
Linux uses run level 3 instead of run 2 by default for multi-user access.

hope this helps!
kind regards

hi Shabir,

> -rwxr-x--- 1 root dba 0 May 8 19:20 init.d/dbora

can you change the permission and ownership as follows:
chown bin:bin /sbin/init.d/oradb
chmod 755 /sbin/init.d/oradb

also post the output of:
cat /etc/rc.config.d/dbora

this should show something like:

SRV2:sbin/init.d>cat /etc/rc.config.d/dbora
# ORACLE DATABASE configuration
#
# ORACLE_START_STOP : Set to 1 to start ORACLE DATABASE
#
ORACLE_START_STOP=1

SRV2:sbin/init.d>

revert!

the answers is in your rc.log file

/sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora.org[7]: hostname: not found.
/sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora.org[12]: touch: not found.
starting Oracle Net Listener
/sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora.org[23]: su: not found.
Starting Oracle databases
/sbin/rc2.d/S99dbora.org[26]: su: not found.

PATH ie absolute PATH for those command are not defined in the script so just correct it and it ll works fine

Re: startup script

Yogeeraj_1 — Wed, 14 May 2008 06:30:48 GMT

Fabien GUTIERREZ:
> the answers is in your rc.log file
No really.
If you look at the "ll */*dbora*" output, S99dbora.org is not a link but a script created in the rc2.d directory.
-rwxr-x--- 1 bin bin 939 Apr 28 15:07 rc2.d/S99dbora.org

The intended script "dbora" startup does not even appear in the rc.log!!
lrwxrwxr-x 1 root sys 18 May 13 10:35 rc3.d/S99dbora3 -> /sbin/init.d/dbora

Thats presumes a step in the configuration that has not been done properly..

Shabir: please post the requested information as per my last post.

thanks

let's check if the #! pragma in your shell is referencing a shell in /sbin
if not problem may comes from that point

It seems to be telling you it can't find the commands hostname, su, etc. If you can edit the script, put the full path in.

Yogeeraj_1 — Fri, 16 May 2008 10:29:56 GMT

hi Shabir,

There is something with the script itself. We need to check what Fabien mentioned previously.

"let's check if the #! pragma in your shell is referencing a shell in /sbin if not problem may comes from that point"

Can you post your dbora script?

revert!
