Re: Can't Get Oracle to Start During Boot: Sys V

Cory, did you connect to system before you issued the startup command. If you don't at that SVRMGR prompt issue CONNECT INTERNAL and then issue the command STARTUP. If you don't have script to bring up listener automatically, you need to issue LSNRCTL START at the $ prompt or just START at LSNRCTL prompt.
Its the same way to shutdown, after connecting you issue the command SHUTDOWN and STOP listener.

However if you want to automate the startup and shutdown of oracle at boot time,there is a script called start.ora and shut.ora some where in the oracle software directory. I cannot remember the exact location off my head. Do a search on the box, for that file. However, yo don't use Oracle at all time, its better to start and stop oracle manually.

I hope this helps. Have fun..
