    Shell Script to startup a database

    Hi ,
    I am new to Linux Platform and I am looking for a .sh script to startup a database and start the lsnrctl.

    Something like this

    su - oracle
    oracle>svrmgrl
    connect internal
    startup
    exit (exit from svrmgrl)
    root>lsnrctl start

    Thanx

    If you look at the before you install manual for Linux there should be a section on getting databases to automatically startup. There should be a file in $ORACLE_HOME/bin called dbstart. It will look at the /var/optt/oracle/oratab file and determine which databases need to be started based on the third field.

    sidname:/usr/oracle/9.2.0.2:Y

    Then there is a diectory in /etc, I don't remember which one off hand but you basically create a symbolic link there. It is all spelled out in the manual which you should read before installing Oracle on a new platform anyway in case there is something that you should know or change.

    Not used Linux but I will assume you have the same scripts as those on Solaris, if so you can use the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstop scripts to start and stop all the instances on the host.

    You'll need something similar to the following:

    Code:
    svrmgrl EOF
    connect internal
    startup
    EOF
    
    lsnrctl start
    BTW there are 2 less-than symbols before the first EOF (post displays incorrectly if I add them here)

    for 9i you can use something like the following in your startup.sh script
    Code:
    sqlplus -s /NOLOG << ! >/dev/null
    spool start.log
    connect sys as sysdba
    ^M
    startup
    spool off
    exit
    !

    Hi jovery,
    Thanx for that .. i am able to use the script when i paste the same on the terminal window .. but when i save it as a shell script and execute it, its getting stopped after logging in as oracle.
    and once i exit from the oracle user.. remaining commands are being executed.


    su - oracle
    svrmgrl << EOF
    connect internal
    startup
    EOF
    lsnrctl start
    exit
    exit

    Is it waiting for a return? Amar's script has a ^M explicitly in it.
