There is no DOS command that can do it but it can be done by shelling out to a WSH script that uses WMI active-X objects. I've written ASP pages that use WMI to start and stop services locally orremotely. It's been a while though so it will take some time to cobble a script
together. Quoting "Sweetser, Joe" <JSweetser@xxxxxxxx>:
Hmmm. I don't know of any DOS commands to do it (though I'd imagine they exist), but you could change the Oracle service with the oradim command as well. Something like: oradim -edit -sid dbsid -startmode manual might work. I don't have easy access to a windows box to try it but it would behoove one to test this first. I seem to recall it *not* working a few years ago. Perhaps the startmode doesn't refer to the service itself? -joe -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of J.

I have a batch script that uses oradim to shutdown/startup my 9207 databases on a WIN2003 server but don't know how to change the status from automatic to manual in the event the server administrator wants to reboot the machine a couple of times before I have the databases restart.
