Start Oracle Automatically on Linux To Start/Stop any of the user defined services/demons/applications/programs when ever we shutdown or restart Unix

server automatically, Please follow the below steps Basically its a 5 step process.

Step:2 => login as root and ma e your current directory as /etc/init.d Copy the below script/template and save it with a name under this directory (eg: myservices) Below script perfectly wor s for oracle startup and shutdown #!/bin/bash # ch config: 345 90 12 # description: start/stop myservices #******************************************************************************* ************ # Script : myservices # Version : 1.0 #----------------------------------------------------------------------# History of changes #----------------------------------------------------------------------# Date Version Author Description # --------- ------- -------- -----------------------------------------# The service will be enabled by default for runlevels 3,4 and 5. # The 90 is the start priority. # The 12 is the stop priority. # The lower the number the higher the priority # and the sooner a service will be started/stopped. # # Return values for all commands: # 0 - success # 1 - generic or unspecified error #******************************************************************************* ************ # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions # Set the environment variables export ORACLE_BASE=/dbase/app/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=/dbase/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 export JAVA_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/jd export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib :/usr/lib/libnetsnmpj.so export TMPDIR=/tmp export TMP=/tmp # Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME from which you wish to execu te dbstart and dbshut; # Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the Oracle database in ORA_HOME. # dbstart and dbshut will ta ecare of LISTENER ORA_HOME=/dbase/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 ORA_OWNER=oracle # Set variables

Step:1 => We should have root permissions to implement this tas

Step:3 => Grant execute permissions and Register the script to the appropriate r unlevels #cd /etc/init.d #chmod 755 myservices #ch config --level 345 myservices on Step:4 => Once the above command is executed, Verify/validate it with below comm and. We should see output as follows #ch config --list myservices myservices 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Step:5 => Restart the machine and test it.

Detailed description of step 3: It will create soft lin s in the runlevel folders. The soft lin name starts wit h S=>Start/K=>Kill and followed by priority and finally followed by our script n ame. rc.d |-- rc0.d |-- rc1.d |-- rc2.d |-- rc3.d (S90myservices -> ../init.d/myservices) |-- rc4.d (S90myservices -> ../init.d/myservices) |-- rc5.d (S90myservices -> ../init.d/myservices) `-- rc6.d
