Re: Oracle 8.1.6 on Linux start

What we do is in /etc/inittab, added a line like:

pu:3:wait:/etc/wcc_install/startup.wcc

The script /etc/wcc_install/startup.wcc basically contains:

su - oracle -c /bin/bash < input_script > output_log 2> output_err &

This starts up input_script as your Oracle user (assuming your Oracle user is oracle.) Any output will be put in output_log and output_err.

Your input script contains dbstart and whatever else you want to start as oracle automatically (as in networking, other software.)

Now, how does Oracle recommend? As a matter of fact, I don't know. This method is pure Unix methodoligy.
