:Linked script to /sbin/rc1.d and /sbin/rc2.d.

:Logged in as user oracle

:Logged in as root
: su - oracle -c "wlctl start 8888"
:starts the web server and keeps running after logging out.

This message is likely from a tset or ttytype command in your .profile (or .login). By doing an "su -", you are making it execute this file. Consider changing the "su -" to "su" but you may have to source any environment variable setup. However, this is likely not your problem.
: Information: Listening on port 8888
: Information: The server started successfully
 

: Oracle Web Listener, Version 1.01fc5

: Server now running as process 1109
 

:But, when I finally log in there is no Oracle Web Listener

:Somehow the process gets killed.

Is the process set up to be a daemon? If not, it will die when the su ends. Try executing it with nohup to prevent dying on exit.
