My dbstart and dbshut scripts work fine when run from the command prompt.

Here is my dbora script.

I have updated the oratab file.


#!/bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart]
Configuration Tasks to Perform as the root User
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
’start’)
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
;;
’stop’)
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut &
;;
esac

I created symbolic links to the dbora script in the appropriate run-level script directories, as follows:
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc3.d/S99dbora

In spite of all this, my database does not start.

Please help.

Thanks,
