services to be up and running when system is restarted. Oracle by itself does not start the

Oracle database and TNS listener automatically. An Oracle database administrator (DBA)

must set these services to be restarted when the server is reset. For details on how to auto start

these services, see the Oracle documentation at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/
