The other difference might be the environment (or lack thereof in the rc2.d startup).
The way I do this is as such:
1- my 'oracle' script is in /etc/init.d/oracle. It is linked to
init.d/oracle rc0.d/K100oracle rc3.d/S100oracle
It contains simply:
# Start/stop processes required for oracle
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle8 -c orastart
;;
'stop')
su - oracle8 -c orastop
;;
orastart and orastop do things like start the database with svrmgrl, start the listener with lsnrctl and so on. They also do things like run some pro*c and oci programs as well. I am sure the database has had a chance to start (since orastart starts it before running the programs) and I am sure the environment is setup correctly as well...
