First, post what OS and version.

Second, post how you are starting these two processes - include, if applicable, the lines from the script(s). Post if the processes are started from the same script, or two different ones.

As a suggestion (since the information isn't yet known), you could look for the first process id from the script running the second process (modify your script to write it to a file, or create a temp file that the second script waits to be delete before starting to run) and use either the sleep command or wait command while waiting for the first to finish.

Example:
First script starts first Oracle process: change it to create a temp file
touch /tmp/Oracle1.tmp
At the end of the script, remove the temp file.

Second script starts second Oracle process:
Checks to see if the file exists - if it does, sleep for xx amount of time and then check again. Once the file is removed, the second script will start the second process.

If your OS, as Perderabo has mentioned, uses different scripts in startup, then it's also just as easy to find how much time you need to wait and just put the second script in a 'later' start by changing the number of the script (S99 versus S01).

Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm)

NAME

       Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT - Convert Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT <-> strftime Format Strings

SYNOPSIS

	 use Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT qw(oracle2posix posix2oracle);
	 my $strptime = oracle2posix($NLS_DATE_FORMAT);
	 $NLS_DATE_FORMAT = posix2oracle($strftime);

DESCRIPTION

       Convert Oracle's NLS_DATE_FORMAT string into a strptime format string, or the reverse.

   Functions
       oracle2posix
	   Takes an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string and converts it into formatting string compatible with "strftime" or "strptime".

	     my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

	   Character sequences that should not be translated may be enclosed within double quotes, as specified in the Oracle documentation.

	     my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'

       posix2oracle
	   Takes a "strftime" or "strptime" formatting string and converts it into an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string. It is possible to create
	   strings which Oracle will not accept as valid NLS_DATE_FORMAT strings.

	     my $format = posix2oracle('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'); # 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'

   EXPORT
       None by default. "oracle2posix" and "posix2oracle" when asked.
