That would be the manual mode. "Recover standby database". With 8i, and the
multiple archive destinations, you have the sustained recovery mode.
"Recover managed standby database".  A sustained recovery mode will lock
your telnet window, and will be dedicated to doing just the recovery. But
then, one can always create a shell script, and run it in the background
with nohup, assuming you are on Unix.

The latest issue of Ora Magazine has a good write up on standby database in
9i, and the FAL (Is that the name?) process.

Windows?

I used to do this with a 7.3.4 instance on Unix, I had a shell script
that would run every x minutes, and would first check to see it if was
already running. If not, it would do the recover automatic. It would
"fail" when it ran out of archived logs to apply, but the cron would
restart it and check for more.

Worked pretty well..
