RE: To autostart database or not?

We never used dbshut without customizing it first. It shutdown aborts etc., good for SA who reboots server before shuting down database, or a crash if it is rc3 directories... but for normal use we always seemed to have to customize it... same for oraenv which be default only sets a couple variables.

Thats why I stated to always keep /etc/oratab updated, dbshut and dbstart are based on it. :-)

Thanks for sharing your experience.
