#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
# Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
# directory for your installation.
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
# oracle owner at your site.
4.
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
5.
chkconfig --add dbora
When I try this root user i get error
# /etc/init.d/dbora start
/etc/profile: line 51: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/etc/profile: line 51: `if[ \$USER= "oracle" ]; then'
-bash: c: No such file or directory

-bash: c: No such file or directoryThe /etc/profile line 51 seems to be incorrect. No space between the "+if+" and the bracket condition.
E.g.
/home/billy> if[ \$USER = "oracle" ]; then echo true;else echo false;fi
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/home/billy> if [ \$USER = "oracle" ]; then echo true;else echo false;fi
falseWhy do you use a leading slash for the +$USER+ variable? It changes it from a variable to a literal.
/home/billy> echo $USER
billy
/home/billy> echo \$USER
$USERLiteral "+$USER+" will never equal literal "+oracle+".
