Hi

On SUN oratab is located in /var/opt/oracle on other Unix system it is located in /etc.

Do a copy/paste and edit to your own settings.

The contents:
#

# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
# and updated by the Oracle8 and SQL*Net install procedures.

#
# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
# the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
#
# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME::
#
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third field indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should, "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
#
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
#
#
MYDB:/u01/appl/oracle/product/8.1.7:Y
