For Oracle10g you can use the CRS init script init.crs to control CRS services. Run the init.crs script with no arguments to display usage parameters. The location of the init.crs script is operating system dependant:

• Solaris: the scripts are in /etc/init.d
• Linux: the scripts are in /etc/init.d
• HP-UX: the scripts are in /sbin/init.d
• AIX: the scripts are in /etc
