Re: Help !! startup of oracle 7.2.3 at boot time

On my HP9000 (unix10.10) we include the following in a script named /sbin/init.d/oracle_db: /usr/bin/su - oracle7 -c "oracle/bin/dbstart" The script should be linked from /sbin/rc2.d.

You can also include dbshut command as well. Be sure you adapt absolute path of commands and oracle directory for your system.

I would be happy to ftp you the entire script if you like.
