Hi fhorvath,
Thank you for your reply where you said, I quote: " If you shut it down, you need to bring it up." Were you talking about shuting down the Database services, the LISTENER and the Applications service? Or, were you talking about shuting down the machine itself (the laptop) completely? This is because, my question was about STARTING the Database services, the LISTENER and the Applications services purely because you have just switched off your laptop and restarted it, and then login to Enterprise Linux. Thank you.
