Hi Tom,
I have installed Oracle 8i(8.1.6) on Redhat Linux 6.2, but I am facing some problems.
I want to start listener service and oracle SID during linux startup.
I have configured as per linux documentation provided by Oracle.
I have already set environment variable and export the PATH in the profile.

Here I give 2 problems that I am facing:
1)
For listener service I have included the following line in the /etc/services file as per
instruction:
listener 1521/tcp
But Listener does not start automatically during linux booting.
I have to start it manually.
What is the problem? How it will be solved?
2)
I have updated the /etc/oratab file. My Oracle service name is project.
project:ORACLE_HOME:Y

I have created a file named dbora in the location of
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ and added the following lines:

#!/bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/p02/oracle
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')

su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
;;
'stop')

su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut &
;;
esac

Then I have Linked dbora file by entering:
$ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K10dbora
$ ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99dbora

But I am facing the same problem. Database and Listener do not start automatically.
I have to start the Listener by using the command '$lsnrctl start listener'
and database in the server manager 'svrmgr>startup'

I don't want this. I want to start both listener and database automatically.
What is the solution?

With best regards.
