frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ bash
frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ echo $ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER

frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ echo $ORACLE_HOME

frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ export ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=Blah frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ echo $ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER Blah
frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ echo $ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER Blah
frank_at_cs-frank03:~$ exit
exit
frank_at_cs-frank03:~$

Beware, LISTNER is usually written as LISTENER (note the extra E) Also beware dbshut and dbstart usually are called during system startup/shutdown, not meant for 'normal' operations
