Re: HELP !! startup of Oracle 7.2.3 at boot time on UNIX

: The dbstart is being run as root at startup time. The dbstart has the
: following lines in it.
: connect internal;
: startup;

I use the following in my /etc/rc2 file :

• snip -- su <oracle owner> -c svrmgrl << ! connect internal startup exit !
• snip --

Because the rc* file as run as root we can use the fact that root when su'ing doesn't have to give a password. We then use the -c flag to start the command that is used to start or shutdown the db - in my case I use svrmgrl - and then use the Unix << (here-to) syntax to issue the required commands.
