I just call it. It is in the ORACLE_HOME and know where to find oratab. The only unix box I have ever worked on is AIX and I am still learning. I guess I was too naive to worry about where everything was supposed to be I just did what the book said.

The shutdown script is a bit of a problem because it does a shutdown normal and may hang forever so I just shut them down individually.

Ruth

Thanks Ruth. Guess I wasn't clear in my question. Do you call the oracle startup script from inittab and the oracle shutdown script from a wrapped shutdown script? Or is there a way to call these scripts from rc.local or rc2.d, rc0.d, etc. when performing a shutdown/startup of AIX?

>>> rgramolini_at_tax.state.vt.us 04/02/01 12:35PM >>> I just use dbstart, the one that comes with Oracle. It works for us on AIX 4.2.1.

Who said unix is unix, not me. I have worked w/ HPUX, Digital Unix, Linux, and Solaris. All of these support some form of automatic shutdown/startup scripts found in rc.d directorires, etc.

I can not believe IBM AIX uses the /etc/inittab for the startup and you have to create a wrapper script for the shutdown. I found documentation on metalink note: 1019817.6, that describes this format.

Has anyone found a better way, maybe to emulate the System V method? Thanks.
