Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Automatic DB startup at boot
They forget that they removed sqldba between versions (7.2 and 7.3).
Dbstart looks for sqldba, not svrmgrl. sqldba no longer exists. Perhaps the easiest fix is to
$ ln -s svrmgrl sqldba
in your $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. Then dbstart will find sqldba and won't try to run ior which was used to start an Oracle5 database.
