Hmmm. I don't know of any DOS commands to do it (though I'd imagine
they exist), but you could change the Oracle service with the oradim
command as well. Something like:

oradim -edit -sid dbsid -startmode manual

might work. I don't have easy access to a windows box to try it but it
would behoove one to test this first. I seem to recall it *not* working
a few years ago. Perhaps the startmode doesn't refer to the service
itself?

Subject: Changing service auto to manual via batch

Is there a way to change the "running services" status in the "Services"

window from Automatic to Manual via a batch script?  I have a batch
script
that uses oradim to shutdown/startup my 9207 databases on a WIN2003
server but don't know how to change the status from automatic to manual
in the event the server administrator wants to reboot the machine a
couple of times
before I have the databases restart.  My oradim command in the batch
job
looks like this:

oradim -shutdown -sid dbsid -shutmode I -shuttype SRVC >>
%BASELOGS%\oracle_shutdown.log
