Oracle DB Startup and Shutdown Automation

This document describes how to automate the startup and shutdown of an Oracle database on a Linux server. The key steps are: 1. Modify the /etc/oratab file to set the database to start automatically. 2. Create a script called dbstart in $ORACLE_HOME/bin to start the database. 3. Create an init script called dbora in /etc/init.d to start and stop the database as a service using the dbstart and dbshut scripts.
