    debugging dbstart / dbstop

    Oracle 9.2.0.4 on SunOS sunprod1 5.8
    Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

    What would be the most appropriate way to debug dbstart and dbstop?
    I read the docs, edited the appropriate files on the server, but the database does not startup on reboot.

    Perhaps there is a better tutorial link out there than I have found.

    Been testing on a Linux box with same version 9.2.0.4

    What I did:
    Code:
    -	Changed /etc/oratab file to: DEV1:/opt/ora9/product/9.2:Y
    -	Create file /etc/init.d/dbora
    #!/bin/sh
    # Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME
    # from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut;
    #
    # Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
    # Oracle database in ORA_HOME.
    
    ORA_HOME=/opt/ora9/product/9.2
    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’)
    
    
    		# Start the Oracle databases:
    		# The following command assumes that the oracle login
    		# will not prompt the user for any values
    
    	su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
    	;;
    
    	’stop’)
    		# Stop the Oracle databases:
    		# The following command assumes that the oracle login
    		# will not prompt the user for any values
    
    	su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut &
    	;;
    esac
    
    - chmod 755 dbora
    - ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
    - ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc3.d/S99dbora

    I got the dbstart and dbshut scripts to work on their own,
    but I still am having problems getting the server to run them
    on reboot.

    Are you positive the server is executing them at the runlevel you expect?

    I wasn't positive about that so I added the run-script to every runlevel and it worked. Yay for me!

    Also, before that, I realized that oracle F-ed up with their
    stupid scripts which I had to edit to account for spfiles and
    a few other configurations.

    The end result was that I got it working.
