Re: oradim -inst (ok) -srvc (why)

I don't know where you got this. Go to oracle\ora81\bin and type oradim for the executable. It will print to the DOS window the correct syntax.

But I never use oradim to start or stop a Windows database. You can set the service to start and stop with Windows automatically in the control panel.
