Hi all, We have got Oracle 10g AS (Release 10.1.2.0.0) installled on RHES 4(Nahant). Now I just wanted to know : 1) What are the services should be started all the time when my server is getting started? We are starting the following services : EMCTL,EMCTL CONSOLE ONLY. 2) How to automate the startup of these services? I know its possible thru scripts but how to write these scripts ? Since I am a newbie to this system (linux) , i finding myself in trouble. Is any site available to go thru the scripts required for Oracle 10g AS and Oracle 9i . -- Thanks & Regards, T.
