With a holiday, it is a slow time of the month. Time to learn.... I'm reading the "Suse Linux boot concept" chapter in the PDF that comes with SUSE (the PDF is called MANUAL), but it is the Installation and Administration manual.
Playing around with the following, modified from "skeleton": #! /bin/sh # Copyright (c) 1995-2004 SUSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany. # All rights reserved. # # Init skeleton modified for Oracle startup and shutdown # by Tom Duerbusch # THD Consulting # July 5 2007 # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: ORACLEDB # Required-Start: $network # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 # Short-Description: Oracle startup and shutdown script # Description: Oracle startup and shutdown script # lsnrctl start (to start IP service # sqlplus '/as sysdba' # startup (mount and startup Oracle server # quit # emctl start dbconsole (starts the OEM monitor ### END INIT INFO ** Joe's Own Editor v2.9.8-pre1 ** Copyright (C) 2001 ** ... Anyway, it starts/stops in the wrong place. i.e. linux34:/etc/init.d # ls rc3.d . K10cups K16syslog S08resmgr S13postfix ..

Starting it up as the last thing started and the first thing shutdown, would be good. The chapter on this, does a good job of explaining the startup sequence, but not how to be last. Apparently, there are only certain parms that can be put in the "required start" and it is doing what I tell it, that is start after $network. I could put a delay in the startup process to wait everything out. The shutdown process kills me also. I've lost my NSF server long before I start the shutdown or Oracle. Remember, I'm playing around. I'm using an old Oracle image to test things out. The point isn't to startup/shutdown Oracle, in a much as it is to understand how to get processes started/stopped in the proper order.
