Hi All,

I want to make Oracle 8i to Startup and Shutdown whenever Solaris 8
(for Intel) is broughtup and broughtdown. While I did go through
the Solaris MAN, I'm still not sure of what changes to make.

I know that the rc* files need to be changed but I dont know
which files. Here are the file structures :

C:\>pwd
/sbin
C:\>ls -l rc*
-rwxr--r-- 3 root sys 2792 Jan 5 2000 rc0
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 3177 Jan 5 2000 rc1
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 2885 Jan 5 2000 rc2
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 2341 Jan 5 2000 rc3
-rwxr--r-- 3 root sys 2792 Jan 5 2000 rc5
-rwxr--r-- 3 root sys 2792 Jan 5 2000 rc6
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 9973 Jan 5 2000 rcS
C:\>


C:\>pwd
/etc
C:\>ls -ld rc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 13 19:56 rc0 -> ../sbin/rc0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 1024 Jul 13 20:25 rc0.d

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 13 19:56 rcS -> ../sbin/rcS
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 1024 Jul 13 20:20 rcS.d
C:\>

MAN says that 2 is the multiuser stage. Should the oracle
startup script be appened at the end of /sbin/rc2.

C:\>pwd
/export/home/oracle/oracle817/bin
C:\>ls -l dbs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 2490 Aug 12 2000 dbshut
-rwsr-s--- 1 root oinstall 1480880 Jul 22 04:24 dbsnmp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 1420932 Dec 27 2000 dbsnmpO
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 4081 Aug 12 2000 dbstart
C:\>

Can someone help, please. Also where can I find the different
boot steps involved in Solaris.

Thanks,
gopi
