Good points.
We have had very few unexpected outages thus far but, with hurricane season fast approaching, I have been rethinking my practices. 

Thanks all

checks like verifying the filesystems exist before starting.  It is nice
to sleep when the Unix Admin needs to reboot the box :).

Subject: To autostart database or not?
We are running a few Oracle9i and 10g databases on RHEL and I have always opted NOT to have the databases automatically restart when the server goes down due to something unexpected. My thinking was that if the server crashed, then I want to be there to bring up the databases to 

assess and repair any damage (yes, I am the only production DBA).
Am I being overly controlling? Looking for other opinions and thoughts on the matter. 

Thanks
