Also,if you would read past the first paragraph to my orginal post you would see that I did answer your question.

enough said on this subject. Have that Oracle kind of day!
Everybody know $ORACLE_HOME/bin is where oracle executable files stored. If i found some doc on this definately i won't post question here..
I know in windows $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.exe is the core engine for oracle but in unix ..we can see all bg process saperately such arch,dbw,etc.. that is why i wonder what "oracle" for...maybe it is startup program tu run all those bg process.
