Help with shell script 'CASE $'
Hi,
I have a script that is called by /etc/init.d/S99oracle and the contents of this script are below.

Code:
$ cat ../init.d/oracle
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: oracle
# Required-Start: $ALL
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:  3 5
# chkconfig: 35 99 10
# Default-Stop:
# Description: Start/stop the Oracle database engine
### END INIT INFO
echo $1
case $1 in
      start)
                echo "Starting Oracle"
                 /u/bin/oracle_start
                ;;
      stop)
                echo "Stopping Oracle"
                 /u/bin/oracle_stop
                ;;
esac

Now, when I run one of the above 2 scripts (/u/bin/oracle_start
or /u/bin/oracle_stop) manually, they work fine, however when they are called on server reboot, the /u/bin/oracle_start fails. The content of /u/bin/oracle_start are below. Any advice?

Code:
 $ cat /u/bin/oracle_start
#run as root
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: oracle
# Required-Start: $ALL
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:  3 5
# chkconfig: 35 99 10
# Default-Stop:
# Description: Start the Oracle database engine
### END INIT INFO
set -x
DT=`date +"%m%d%H%M"`
ORACLE_LOG=/tmp/oracle_start.$DT
echo "Starting cssd." >> $ORACLE_LOG
# /u/oracle/server/oracle10g/bin/localconfig reset 2>&1 >> $ORACLE_LOG
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
  echo "Failure starting cssd!" >> $ORACLE_LOG
  exit 1
fi
echo "Starting ASM and database." >> $ORACLE_LOG
/bin/su oracle -c '. /u/oracle/home/.oraenv > /dev/null; $ORACLE_HOME/bin/./dbstart $ORACLE_HOME' 2>&1 >> $ORACLE_LOG
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
  echo "Failure starting ASM and database!!" >> $ORACLE_LOG
  echo "Continuing with Agent startup" >> $ORACLE_LOG
fi
echo "Starting Grid Control Agent." >> $ORACLE_LOG
/bin/su oracle -c '. /u/oracle/home/.oraenv > /dev/null;  $AGENT_HOME/bin/./emctl start agent' 2>&1 >> $ORACLE_LOG
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
  echo "Failure starting agent!" >> $ORACLE_LOG
fi


-Thanks-

Please use code tags for code! [code]stuff[/code]

That init script looks fishy. if [ $? -ne 0 ] is tested without actually running anything except local commands first.

It would be useful to know what way it fails -- what ends up in the log when it fails to start.

Thanks Corona for quick reply,
The log files from /u/bin/oracle_start shows as waiting for ASM to be up before it can bring the DB up. Now, we have the /etc/init.d/init.cssd on server, I want to know what run level will this script init.cssd be called during server reboot?

What do they actually say, though? Like I said, that init script looks fishy. I don't think it's checking ccsd at all, I think it could be quitting from errors unrelated to ccsd.

The problem could be the $ORACLE_HOME environment variable.

Franklin52,
No, $ORACLE_HOME is set to correct value, because the script starts DB when run manually, however it fails to auto start DB on server reboot.

But not when the system boots up.
