lsnrctl

The lsnrctl utility manages the Oracle listener processes. The Oracle listener process is required for database applications to access the database through SQL*Net or Net8. lsnrctlrequires entries in the listener.ora file that specify the port for that listener. The listener.ora file is the configuration file for the network listener. It resides on the server and defines thenetwork listener address, the SID for the database for which it listens, and other optional parameters for tracing and logging.

The lsnrctl command can be executed without parameters, in which thelsnrctl shell will be invoked, or it can execute commands directly when specified on the command line.
