well doing this revealed a process 'ORA_PMON_D01' Am I correct in assuming this is the database instance? at least the D01 is the instance.

I revealed NO listener.ora I assume that this means that this process has not been started ... or worse yet maybe not installed (yikes)

>Also a listener process must be running : ps -ef|grep listener
This process was not running nor could I find an executable to execute (hehe I'd often like to execute a computer)

I suppose it would be too much to hope that all I need to do is find the executable and run it as either root or Oracle's default user ?
