Hi everyone,

Got a question about Oracle 9.0.1 on Solaris 9

I just installed this on the Sun box. Got the database software installed and a database up and running. Now I am trying to setup the start and stop scripts for the when the machine gets rebooted, etc.

Seems that the scripts are having a problem shutting down the instance (don't know about the sartup yet)., ie. scripts connect but the shutdown command does not get initiated.

Thing is the scripts that I am using are the ones that came with the database ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut and dbstart). Ones that oracle bundled. I took a look at them and they are old scripts. (go figure). (I also copied working ones from a Solaris 8 machine and those have a problem too).

So does anyone have any working scripts for Solaris 9?

Also, has anyone encountered anything like two smon processes for the same database on the same machine? ie, pid 1400 ora_smon_SID, 1500 ora_smon_SID? I didn't think this was possible. Maybe the machine is screwed but wanted to know if anyone has encountered something like it.

Thanks
