Best practice wanted: /etc/init.d/oracle + /etc/sysconfig/oracle
Dear fellows,
having our first machine under Oracle Unbreakable Linux 6.1 (becoming an Oracle RDBMS server), and otherwise being a SLES/SuSE shop, we're most severely missing the commodities provided by SuSE's "orarun" package... This package brings most, if not all software prerequisites you need for a machine to become an Oracle server: it installs a very sophisticated /etc/init.d/oracle startup script, it puts all Linux kernel settings nicely into /etc/sysconfig/oracle and takes care for some other goodies. Even though you still have to edit these files to fit your needs, orarun kind of rules the location and provides kind of guidance where to consistently find and set Oracle-related parameters.
