Hi Robert,
Here is a list of related scripts, assuming you are using ksh $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oraenv, sets the correct env vars for you based on the Oracle SID you specify. The installation procedure should have copied it to /usr/lbin,/usr/local/bin, or whatever convention applies to Linux This scripts calls the dbhome script
Then there is dbstart(up?) and dbshut(down?) in the same directory. These two scripts simply read oratab, and any SID, with Y in the third field will be started. Of course it should be called by the bootprocedure. In Aix this is as simple as includin it in /etc/initab. I do know Linux takes a different approach. There have been posts about this to the ng the last few months, so maybe the deja archives will still have those posts.

Hth,

Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
