Shutdown and startup

[smitty3501]

Im looking for help determining where to place the call to a script that will shutdown Oracle. The files /etc/shutdown and /etc/rc.shutdown do not exist.

Also where would I place the call to the script to startup Oracle when the machine boots ?

Thanks in advance

You can start Oracle after the machine boot in the /etc/inittab.

For Stoping Oracle, check /etc/rc.d ..... I'm not sure.

If you create /etc/rc.shutdown, it'll be run at the beginning of shutdown. The script must return zero, or the shutdown will be stopped.

As said by RodKnowlton use /etc/rc.shutdown to start dbshut

Befote starting dbshut be sure your /etc/oratab was correctly setup.

Have a look at

http://www.oracleutilities.com/OSUtil/dbstart.html

for dbshut and dbstart

Example from live system

# cat /etc/rc.shutdown
su - oracle -c /u05/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/bin/lsnrctl stop
su - oracle9 -c /u02/oracle9/oracle9/bin/lsnrctl stop
su - oracle9 -c /u02/oracle9/oracle9/bin/dbshut

Take care if your machine is part of a HACMP-cluster, as IPs, vg,... needed for your database might be unavailable while the cluster is not started. In this case may wish to put start/stop scripts in your hacmp-start/stop scripts.
