Hi,
You have to use it something like this:
#!/bin/sh
     # Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the ORACLE_HOME
     # from which you wish to execute dbstart and
     # dbshut
     # set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
     # Oracle database in ORA_HOME
     ORA_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
     ORA_OWNER=oracle
     case "$1" in
     'start')
     # Start the Oracle databases:
     # The following command assumes that the oracle login will not prompt the
     # user for any values
     echo -n "Starting Oracle8i Release 2: "
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
     touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle8i
     echo
     'stop')
     # Stop the Oracle databases:
     # The following command assumes that the oracle login will not prompt the
     # user for any values
     echo -n "Shutting down Oracle8i Release 2: "
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
     rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle8i
     echo
     'restart')
     # Restart the Oracle databases:
     echo -n "Retarting Oracle8i Release 2: "
     $0 stop
     $0 start
     echo
     echo "Usage: oracle8i { start | stop | restart }"
