The implementation on NT is very different from UNIX. In UNIX, there is no "service" like in NT. Oracle on UNIX works by starting a set of processes as daemons, which perform the various tasks for the instance to run correctly.

The reason Oracle starts when an NT service is started is because of registry entries. It has nothing to do with the service itself. Starting Oracle is accomplished by using 'svrmgrl' or 'sqlplus /nolog'.

You need to read the Oracle Admin docs, and go from there.
