Oh, and of course one of the other big reasons to have a customized
script is pinning packages on startup.  Though I remember someone
posting a while ago a neat database startup trigger to take care of
that.  I keep meaning to switch over to using that method.

Me too.  Make a copy of the script and put it in a standard directory.
One thing that dbshut & start do not do is start things like the Oracle
agent, listener, Ldap/Oid services, Oem services, Dbconsole/Grid etc.

So I write a script to start all of this stuff as well as the databases.
The SA's run my script during system startup or shutdown.

We never used dbshut without customizing it first.   It shutdown aborts
etc., good for SA who reboots server before shuting down database, or a
crash if it is rc3 directories... but for normal use we always seemed to
have to customize it... same for oraenv which be default only sets a
couple variables.

Thats why I stated to always keep /etc/oratab updated, dbshut and
dbstart are based on it. :-)

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Best regards,
