Dear Members
I have successfully installed and created an Oracle 8.1.7 database on linux. However, I am still having problems automating startup of the database when my linux system boots up or automatic shutdown when the system is switched off. The dbstart/dbshut scripts works just fine when run at the command prompt after the system has been started.

Please explain to me how I can automatically have these scripts ran when I boot or shut down my linux systems in order to start or shutdown my databases.
