Chuck, oratab ( usually stored in /var/opt/oracle on unix boxes ) stores the SID of all instances on the system along with the ORACLE_HOME location and a Y/N field. The dbstart and dbshut procedures read this file in order to startup and shutdown any instance with a Y in the third field. Dbstart and dbshut are typically called from your os system startup and shutdown command files.
