Automate Oracle Service startup and shutdown (Windows systems)

Oracle services automatically start when the system is restarted and shut down when the system is shut down. Note Oracle automatically shuts down Oracle databases when you shut down the Windows operating system. No configuration is required. The Oracle listener service is configured to start automatically when the system is restarted during the Oracle installation process: Procedure Log on to the operating system as a user with administrator privilege. Choose Start→Control Panel→Administrative Tools→Services. Select the desired service, for example, Oraclehome-nameTNSListener for the Oracle listener service or OracleServiceSID (SID is the instance system identifier, for example tc). Verify the startup mode of the service is running by checking the Windows Services dialog box for the following entry: service-name status startup-mode service-name is the name of the selected service, status is either Started if the service is running or blank if it is inactive, and startup-mode is the current startup mode. If the startup mode is not Automatic, click Startup in the Services dialog box, change the Startup Type to Automatic, and click OK. Click Close.
