There are many ways of starting and stopping your Oracle WebLogic 11g  environments, You can stop your Admin and Managed Server Instances through the Adminsitration console, use the the start and stop scripts shipped with the Oracle WebLogic software and domain creation, or use a tool like WLST to manipulate your entire environment.
In this blog I will  use the different kinds of techniques to stop and start your Oracle WebLogic Server environment, even in case of a physical host reboot (planned or unplanned)
For this I used the common UNIX shell scripting in combination with WLST
The bundle consists of the following components:
- weblogic_rc.sh start|stop|status –> Overall shellscript which calls the different scripts for stopping and starting. This can be added to the bootsequence of the physical host, which varies per O/S ( Linux-init.d, AIX- rc) Ask you O/S admin how to implement it). Your OS profile needs to be set as well, so set some variables like MW_HOME. WL_DOMAIN and WL_DOMAIN_DIR, and ORACLE_HOME
- nodemgrstart and nodemgrstop –> python/WLST scripts for starting the Node Manager. Can be invoked with or without the overall script. First set the setWLSEnv.sh or the setDomainEnv.sh to issue the correct environmentsettings. Execute:
java weblogic.WLST nodemanagerstart / nodemanagerstop
- wl11gstart and wl11gstop > python/WLST scripts for starting the WebLogic Server Instances. Can be invoked with or without the overall script. First set the setWLSEnv.sh or the setDomainEnv.sh to issue the correct environmentsettings. Execute:
java weblogic.WLST wl11gstart / wl11gstop
See the scripts below:
- weblogic_rc.sh:
#!/bin/sh # # Start and stop script for an entire Oracle FMW Forms 11g environment # Tobe added to the rebootsequence of the AIX LPAR. # # # # PWD=`pwd` if [ "$USER" != 'root' -a "$USER" != 'orawl' -a "$USER" != '' ]; then echo $BAD_USER && exit 1;fi if [ "$USER" == 'root' -o "$USER" == '' ]; then WL_DOMAIN_DIR=`su - orawl -c 'echo $WL_DOMAIN_DIR'`;fi if [ "$USER" == 'root' -o "$USER" == '' ]; then WL_NM_PORT=`su - orawl -c 'echo $WL_NM_PORT'`;fi if [ "$USER" == 'root' -o "$USER" == '' ]; then WL_HOME=`su - orawl -c 'echo $WL_HOME'`;fi . ~/.profile case "$1" in start) echo Starting the Nodemanager java weblogic.WLST $PWD/nodemgrstart sleep 20 echo  Starting AdminServer on WebLogic Domain $DOMAIN nohup $WL_DOMAIN_DIR/startWebLogic.sh & > /dev/null 2>&1 & sleep 120 # echo Starting the the Managed Server Instances on WebLogic Domain $DOMAIN java weblogic.WLST $PWD/wl11gstart ;; stop) echo WebLogic Server instances java weblogic.WLST $PWD/wl11gstop sleep 60 echo  Stopping AdminServer on WebLogic Domain $DOMAIN $WL_DOMAIN_DIR/bin/stopWebLogic.sh echo Stopping the Nodemanager java weblogic.WLST $PWD/nodemgrstop ;; status) echo checking runtime status java weblogic.WLST $PWD/chkwlsrvr ;; * ) echo "Usage: $0 (start | stop | status)" exit 1 esac

I will provide it soon to you

pwd should be the current diryou also could make a variable like:scriptdir=<path to your scripts>
Should pwd be the home directory?
Can you share the code for chkwlsrvr
Hi i shutdowned managed1, managed2 and normal shutdown of Weblogic 8.1 version, but now i can’t able to login in to server. pls help me how to start server

Why does one want to workaround the nmConnect?
Furthermore you do a count  on all the network interfaces; this not a quite the way to detect if a nodemanager is running or not
One can “work around” the initial nmConnect  by using:
if [[ `ifconfig -a |grep $localhost |wc -l ` -eq 0 ]]; then
echo Node Manager not running
exit 1
fi
Alternately substitute the:
java weblogic.WLST $PWD/nodemgrstart
in lieu of the exit 1 – depends on what you want to do.
pwd should be the current dir
you also could make a variable like:
scriptdir=<path to your scripts>

Sorry Michel..forget my comment about the passwd…I have got  the hint from a colleague to encrypt it. Many thanks in any case.

Hello again Michel,
I also tried individually your nodemanagerstart script and apparently you are trying a nmConnect before starting the Nodemanager. This will not work if the NM is down. It will trhow an error in the nmConnect command. I believe this command has to be taken out .

Loukas
Hi Michel,
very nice script which I am trying to modify and adapt to our environment. 1 question: where the PWD is defined? I do not really get the PWD=`pwd`
Brgds,
Loukas
