Re: How to PERMANENTLY set semaphores in Linux - Suse Personal Edition 8.2?

HI,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did look for those files. But they don't exist on my edition of Linux. Suse Personal 8.2

Note that I haven't installed any databases yet. I've managed to install Oracle, but not created any databases. First, I want the OS to behave properly, so that I can rely on it.

file /etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf: can't stat `/etc/sysctl.conf' (No such file or directory).

(I have since created this file, but I'm not sure if it's right. See my other post.)

file /etc/sysconfig/oracle
/etc/sysconfig/oracle: can't stat `/etc/sysconfig/oracle' (No such file or directory).
linux:/etc/init.d #

file /etc/rc.config
/etc/rc.config: can't stat `/etc/rc.config' (No such file or directory).

file /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
/etc/profile.d/oracle.sh: can't stat `/etc/profile.d/oracle.sh' (No such file or directory).

file /etc/oratab
/etc/oratab: ASCII English text

cat /etc/oratab
*:/oracle/ora92:N

file /proc/sys/fs/file-max
/proc/sys/fs/file-max: empty

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
78587

Do you think that there are there some fundamental things that are missing on my system?

Thanks for all your help.
