Starting and Stopping the Listener

The Oracle listener is set to start automatically whenever the host is restarted. However, when your system encounters unforeseen circumstances, or when you have manually stopped the listener, you can restart it at the command line.

To start or stop the listener at the command line:

  1. Open a command window.
  2. Follow the steps listed in "Configuring the Operating System Environment Variables ."
  3. Enter either of the following commands, depending on whether you want to start or stop the listener: 
    lsnrctl start
lsnrctl stop
