Shutdown scripts
Hello all
I'm trying to automate the startup/shutdown of my database whenever the OS is bounced ...
OS : Linux (Kernel : 2.4.20.-6)
Oracle : 9.2.0.5
The contents of /etc/init.d/dbora file is listed below
case "$1" in
'start')
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "agentctl start"
;;
'stop')
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "agentctl stop"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "lsnrctl stop LISTENER"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut"
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit
Contents of /etc/oratab is
ORA920:/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0:Y
I created all the required links
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc3.d/S99dbora
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc4.d/S99dbora
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc5.d/S99dbora
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc6.d/K10dbora
I shutdown the Linux system using both init 6 and init 0 and in both cases the automation process started up the oracle instance but it did not shut the oracle instance down before shutting down Linux system.My S* scripts are working fine but not my K* scripts. Am I missing something here ?
PS:
There are 2 files in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d ,
S00killall -> ../init.d/killall*
S01reboot -> ../init.d/halt*
Why are these S* scripts in rc0 and rc6 directories ...Seems to me like these S* scripts are getting executed before the K* scripts in in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d ...but I'm not sure what is really going on here ...
Thanks

dxshutdown
dxshutdown(8) System Manager's Manual dxshutdown(8)
NAME
dxshutdown - Performs various types of automated system shutdown.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown
OPTIONS
The dxshutdown command accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command-line options, which are documented in the OPTIONS section of the X(1X)
reference page.
DESCRIPTION
The Shutdown Manager application, dxshutdown, provides the system administrator with a graphical user interface for running user-specified
scripts at shutdown time in addition to performing the following types of automated system shutdown: Halt (and restart console mode) Reboot
Single-user mode shutdown Message-only shutdown
Dependencies: None. You do not need to configure anything prior to running Shutdown Manager.
You must be root to run Shutdown Manager.
Shutdown Manager also lets the system administrator display one or more warning messages prior to system shutdown. The dxshutdown command
uses the Tru64 UNIX shutdown command as an API, passing command-line arguments as specified by application defaults and user inputs.
The Shutdown Manager also provides the following features, which the shutdown command does not provide: Selection of a preshutdown script
to be executed prior to system shutdown Easy cancellation for a shutdown while the timed countdown is in progress Maintenance of an error-
and-script output log under /var/adm/sysman/dxshutdown.log Saving and restoring user-selected shutdown options over multiple invocations of
the Shutdown Manager application
For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the online help volume, which is available from the Help button in the
main window of the Shutdown Manager application.
To start dxshutdown from the graphical user interface: Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel. Double click on the
System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the Daily Admin application group icon. Double click on the Shutdown Manager appli-
cation icon.
EXAMPLES
To start Shutdown Manager from the command line, enter: dxshutdown To open the Shutdown Manager help volume from the command line, enter
the following command: /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/DXshutdown.sdl
FILES
Shutdown Manager executable Shutdown Manager log file Shutdown Manager help volume Shutdown Manager resource file (for option settings)
