Hi Brandon,

thanks for sharing-and I agree! On the upside I'm able to generate a lot 
of the configuration changes by default-i.e. create a dbca template with 
the local listener set. I can also package a listener.ora file as part 
of the deployment process which has a key matching the local_listener 
init.ora parameter. Point taken about brief outage when listener is 
restarted.

In your (and everyone else's experience), how long does a listener 
start/stop take? If it's in a shell script it might be very quick, and 
done over a quiet period shouldn't hurt too much.

Martin
