10g solaris 10 Release 2 startup file

Question

I cant seem to find any reference to the startup file in /etc/rc3.d which I should use for solaris in the documentation. I am using the following which I found on the web . but it starts the database in "idle mode" I have to log in to sqlplus and run the "startup" command .
#!/bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0.1.0
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start') # Start the Oracle databases and listeners
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart"
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start"
'stop') # Stop the Oracle databases and listeners
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl stop"
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
# su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut"
