- Create a file called "oracle" in /etc/init.d for (Sun, Linux) or /sbin/init.d (HP).
- Create two soft links from rc.d directories (consult with your Unix admin for the priority numbers, 03 and 93 are used in this example):
- K03oracle -> /etc/init.d/oracle #Shut down when going to level 0
- S93oracle -> /etc/init.d/oracle # Startup when going to level 3
Additional instructions forHP:
- Create your "oracle" file from /sbin/init.d/template file. Below is the example of what your "oracle" file might look like
- Create a file /etc/rc.config.d/oracle with only one line:
- ORACLE_CONTROL_VARIABLE=1
- In the future, if you want to switch off automatic starting/shutting, just change ORACLE_CONTROL_VARIABLE to 0
