When I use this script :

sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" << EOF
startup;

It starts db and returns to host. I want my script doesn’t return to host. Where is my mistake?

    Does it help if you add exit to your script? In other words, if you try something like:

    sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" << EOF
startup;
exit
EOF

    EDIT: if you don’t want SQL*Plus to exit after running startup, put the line

    startup;

    in a file named startup.sql, say. You can then run

    sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" @startup.sql

    That should then start the database and leave you in SQL*Plus.
