Startup scripts

[Praveen Bezawada]

Hi
As of 10.X the startup scripts cannot use any commands and libraries in /opt. Is it the same with 11.00. Actually i need to start oracle database during startup , oracle is installed in /opt/oraswr on my machine. Can I use startup scripts to start oracle at boot time.
Thanks in advance

Take a look at this file: /usr/share/doc/file_sys.txt (see section three)

Good Luck!

Using /opt is not a problem as long as you have transitioned through run-level 1. The mounting of all volume groups is done via /sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount (in 10.20, at least), so by the time you reach level-3 (normally used for Oracle startup) you will be fine.

Praveen:

You should make the your database startup script one of the last to be executed eg. S999database (in your /sbin/rc2.d) then you will be able to use commands in /opt - the reason is that this ensures that /opt is mounted (ie. all local filesystems are mounted) prior to attempting to start your database.

Take a look at this attached script.The startup script link is S980oracle and the shutdown script is K150oracle. Below is a sample part of the database startup script in dbstart in $ORACLE_HOME:

# instance specific startup section
ORACLE_SID=database_name export ORACLE_SID
svrmgrl <connect internal
startup
EOF
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo ""
echo "Database "${ORACLE_SID}" WARM started."
else
echo ""
echo "Database "${ORACLE_SID}" NOT started."
fi

Hi
when I do su - oracle -c script, though oracle is getting started properly, the message which I get on console is getting garbled. when i check the /etc/rc.log I get message saying
stty : : Not a typewriter
I think that .profile is getting executed when i do su - oracle and causing this error. What should I do fix this.
Thanks in advance
