Hi,
This is more or less a follow-up question to Karen Thomas'
<kthomas_at_csunet.ctstateu.edu> question about shutting down oracle databases
automatically.
After seeing the summary, reading the man pages, and playing with the system
it appears that shutdown does nothing with the /sbin/rc0.d scripts.
My problem is that I have a system running Oracle (and some other services)
that is a fair distance away. If I do an "init 0" or an "init s", it will
take the system down to a non-networked mode. This means a good hike over to
the system to restart the system from the console. It also means that
automated reboots seem to be right out.
Before I spend a fair amount of time getting my head around the University
of Alaska's ua_shutdown wrapper script, is there a simpler way of shutting
down and rebooting the system? Something like the SysV init level 6, which
takes the system down to init 0 and reboots.
It's not that I don't appriciate Kurt Carlson <sxkac_at_alaska.edu> making
the UA_DUtools available. It is just that it will take a little bit of
time to understand them and shape them to my needs.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
