Salut Ad thanks for reply my listener does not create /tmp/listener_start.log after adding  following lines to dbora file
su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start LISTENER"  > /tmp/listener_start.log
make it "su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start LISTENER"  > /tmp/listener_start.log  2>&1
when i issue the command ./lsnrctl start that gives an outcome like

The listener supports no services
The command completed successfully
So what did you do in between .. what you show here is that you issued a startup and got 'already started', then again issued a startup and got a clean startup.  You obviously are not showing us everything.  Like the command that you actually used when you got the 'already started' message.
do not know what to do
