The author apparently prefers the following setting:

$ setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle

Whereas some still prefer /opt/oracle for the $ORACLE_BASE in which case the 10g R1 software home would be located in /opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1.

Stick with what you know, and what works for you and use it consistently.

Regarding dbshut, there is a metalink doc covering this (Note:61333.1).

"For more detailed explanations and alternatives, please refer to the System
Administrator's Guide for your UNIX platform."
