Henry,

I don't know much about Oracle on UNIX, but in the VMS environment, the Oracle installer creates some scripts in the ORA_DB directory for the database:
  shutdown_<dbname>.com
  startup_exclusive_<dbname>.com
  startup_parallel_<dbname>.com

We modified these for our own purposes, and call the startup procedure in our system startup, after a delay to ensure that all of the supporting VMS stuff has had time to get started.
