You probably don't have the init file in /etc/rc.d/init.d

I use this one (this one assumes your UNIX username for the oracle system is 'oracle' and that that user's profile will correctly setup ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, PATH, etc. -- it also starts up the listener for network connections):

#!/bin/sh

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)

        echo -n "Starting Oracle: "
        su - oracle -c dbstart
        su - oracle -c 'lsnrctl start'
        echo
        touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down Oracle: "
        su - oracle -c 'lsnrctl stop'
        su - oracle -c dbshut
        echo
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
  restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1

esac

exit 0
