Subject: RE: Start a service using a short cut on Desktop

Thanks for the reply........


The location of the executable is at

c:\oracle\product\9\db_1\bin\ORACLE.EXE CHANIKYA

and suffix Chanikya is the instance. The display name of the service is

OracleServiceChanikya

I tried NET START command at the location c:\ and also the directory where
the executable is. But the service is not getting started as I checked
services.msc. I tried this step before also but the service is not getting
started.

Help is appreciated.
