Automate Oracle startup processes (Linux systems)

Most system administrators find it helpful to automatically start and stop the Oracle processes when starting and stopping the system, respectively. This ensures a graceful and orderly shutdown of Oracle processes. Automatic startup of Oracle server and database processes is achieved by scripting startup commands so that they are started automatically each time the system is restarted. There are two methods of doing this: Modify an existing system run control (rc) script to include the startup commands. Create a new system rc script using sample scripts provided by Siemens Digital Industries Software.
