This problem is resolved but I'm not clear why/how. I installed Oracle

following instructions in Oracle Database Administrator's Reference 10g
Release 2 for UNIX-Based Operating Systems, section 2.2.2. Turns out
that the following command(s) have to be added to the Oracle startup
script /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora to create a file in /var/lock/subsys.



su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORACLE_HOME

touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora



Can anyone explain to a Linux newbie why the file has to be added to
that folder and how the Linux start/stop procedure uses it? Thanks!
