Oracle on RHL ES3

Question

Hi all,
Am horning my skill on linux box so could any one help me with the script for starting up 10g database and oem on linux.
Am also aware you could bind the script to a user (oracle) so each time the user logs on after shutdown these services are started.
Thank you in advance.

You need to start Oracle only once, at machine boot.
Assuming that oracle is OS user owner of the Oracle software, do the following, as root user :
Update /etc/oratab, putting an "Y" as last character for each DB to be automatically started/stopped.
Create the following script in /etc/init.d directory, naming it, say, oracle :
case "$1" in
start)  echo "Starting Oracle Database(s) "
        su - oracle -c ". $HOME/.bash_profile; lsnrctl start; dbstart; emctl start dbconsole"
        touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
stop)   echo "Shutting down Oracle Database(s) "
        su - oracle -c ". $HOME/.bash_profile; emctl stop dbconsole; dbshut; lsnrctl stop"
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle
esacMake it executable :
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/oracle
Create symbolic links to the oracle script in the appropriate run-level script directories, as follows:
# ln -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc0.d/K02oracle
# ln -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc3.d/S98oracle
