The databases are not shutting down/restarting after issuing "reboot" on a Linux RHEL3 server.
Can anyone who has this working please tell me specifically which symbolic links should be created to make this happen? Everything I read says something different such as:
/etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
/etc/rc0.d/K01dbora -- doesn't even exist
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d -- but doesn't mention which file


I have got dbora working manually. It is a 9206 database on Linux RHEL3. I have already read the Metalink note on adding /var/lock/subsys/dbora to the dbora file. That is why I think it is a symbolic link issue but I can't find clear docs for Linux regarding the required symbolic links to work on "reboot".


Have you tried using the "chkconfig" utility script for RHEL3? There is a man page available. Once you get it set up, it handles all the necessary symbolic links for you.


The whole mechanism of rc*.d directories is handled slightly differently under BSD flavors of Unix than it is under SVR4 flavors, and this kludge is the result, I think.
