Oracle 8.1.6 for Linux includes a broken dbstart script, and lacks an rc script (which would go in /etc/rc.d/init.d/). I have hacked/fixed dbstart for Oracle 8.1.6 (I only added lines 71 and 72, everything else is the same), and created an rc script called oracle .
I learned a bit about fancy shell scripting with bash in order to make SQL*Plus do what I wanted.
