Re : startup and shutdown script for oracle

[Vincent_5]

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to write a startup and shutdown script for oracle. And where can I place the startup and shutdown script so that it can do a auto startup and shutdown.


Regards
Vincent

Vincent,

Try this post (found by searching on "startup script" +Oracle)

I think that should help you.

Hi Vincent,

Maybe this link can help,

Hope this helps.

Did you get your answer from those links?

Hi

You have to use the supplied dbstart and dbshut scripts
located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

Reference these scripts from a rc script placed under /sbin/init.d/

rc-script dbora:

#!/sbin/sh
# Start/stop of Oracle database
#
ORA_HOME=/oracle/product/8.0.6
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORA_HOME ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
start_msg)
echo "Start ORACLE server"
;;

stop_msg)
echo "Stop ORACLE server"
;;
'start')
# Start the oracle databases
/usr/bin/su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
;;
'stop')
# Stop the oracle databases
/usr/bin/su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
;;
esac


Then make a link to this script and place in /sbin/rc2.d and rc0.d :
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc2.d/S990dbora
ln -s /sbin/init.d/dbora /sbin/rc0.d/K10dbora

Then ensure that your oratab file is inplace in /etc/oratab, and enter a Y in the last column of those databases supposed to start.
BICO_XXU:/oracle/product/8.1.7:Y

Vincent,

This comes from our system. We do it every night, so we can do extraa backups as required. It works very well.

I also included the dump command that will create an oracle dump file... just in case.

Good luck!

/dbase/oracle/data_srv/intralink/bin/dserv_shutdown # To shutdown Oracle Data Server

/dbase/oracle/data_srv/intralink/bin/dserv_startup # To startup Oracle Data Server

/dbase/oracle/data_srv/intralink/export/cron_dump # Database Dump file creation utility.

Vincent,

These are the actual scripts, The note above was for the correct locations. Check your permissions and see that they are as follows:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba


/dbase/oracle/data_srv/intralink/bin/dserv_shutdown

#!/bin/csh -f

# /usr/ucb is not on the path while processing rc files (whoami is
# in /usr/ucb on sun4_solaris.
setenv ORACLE_HOME /dbase/oracle/data_srv/oracle
set path=( $path /usr/ucb )

if ( `whoami` == "root" ) then
su - oracle -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut_ilink >& $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log/dbstop.log"
else
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut_ilink >& $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log/dbstop.log
endif

/dbase/oracle/data_srv/intralink/bin/dserv_startup
#!/bin/csh -f

Vincent,

Andreas

Has the correct information. you put the script in the /sbin/init.d directory. Then link it with the correct rc directory.
Mine is /sbin/rc2.d.

You probably want to do the same for the listener. I have also edited oracles dbshut script, adding immediate after the shutdown command.

I am attaching /sbin/init.d/listener
