Auto-start OC4J process after Linux reboot

Question

Oracle 11gR2, OC4J 10g (10.1.3.5.0), RHEL5 64 bit
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to get my oc4j process start at boot time. I already have a dbora script setup. I tried adding the following line to my dbora/dbstart script but it did not do anything:
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
ORACLE_OC4J_HOME=/u02/oc4j
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21/
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_OC4J_HOME/bin/oc4j -start"
I read somewhere that I may need to put the entire path like:
/usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/oc4j.jar &
Just not sure where and how to put that path in the file.
Thanks for your help all.

Hi,
To run oc4j in the background, on Linux
Execute the following command:
nohup ./oc4j -start &
to run oc4j in the background. The 'nohup' command ignores the hangup signal (closing the terminal window) and enables oc4j to continue running in the background.
In rare cases, oc4j will not shutdown cleanly with the standard command:
./oc4j -shutdown -port 23791 -oc4jadmin <admin_pwd>
In those cases, try the following command:
java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:localhost oc4jadmin <admin_pwd> -shutdown
to stop the oc4j service.
Thanks,
