RE: [Q] Shutdown database on LINUX redhat AS 2.1 problem?

So THAT'S where that is! I've been wondering why my K scripts don't run. But, after talking with a co-worker, wouldn't it be better to just "touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle" in the startup and conditionally remove it (using "-f") in the stop of the oracle script in /etc/init.d ? That way, you won't be "hacking" into Linux, which is a hack already IMHO along with all other Unixes, but at least you won't be breaking anything else in the process.

Just my $.02,
Rich
