oratab is a Unix File, which contains comments and datalines consisting
entries
in this format
ZAK2:/oradatazak2/oracle/920:Y
the Y tells the OS that the database should automatically startup at the
boot time

this is a script i used to use to automatically start my database



ORACLE_SID=ZAK2
export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog <<EOF
conn sys/sys as sysdba
startup pfile = '/oradatazak2/oracle/920/dbs/initZAK2.ora'
exit
EOF

and i had a script in the /etc/rc3.d to execute the startup file

ora9i -c "//oradatazak2/dbstartup"
