hi all

After installing Oracle database 11.2 on Solaris 10 x86
the dbstart script doesn't work because of the interpreter
is set to /bin/sh but the script uses syntax of ksh/bash .

dbstart:
line 1:#!/bin/sh
....
line 89:export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER


This export statement is illegal for bourne shell
so the script exits with an error message and doesn't the database processes

How do you solve this problem?

Change it to a syntax it accepts.
It has been long since I used sh but it is valid for Korn shell.

Old bug.

My dbora init.d(4) script invokes dbstart like this:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ksh $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart"

You can do something similar in smf(5) machinery.

It is also valid for bASH, but its been so long since I used vanilla sh,
I can't remember if its valid there also.

I'd just change the script to either use bash or change that

to
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER>
export ORACLE_HOME

Have you just tried changing shell to specify !/bin/ksh. We use the
korn shell for our Oracle setting and starting scripts.

Beware, LISTNER is usually written as LISTENER (note the extra E)
Also beware dbshut and dbstart usually are called during system
startup/shutdown, not meant for 'normal' operations
