ORACLE SRVCTL COMMANDS SYNTAX

Dear DBA-Mates,
Hope you all are enjoying the DBA-life. As in our last post ORACLE APPS DBA INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS LATEST ON 31stAug2018
it was asked by interviewers the uses of SRVCTL in which one of our candidate replied as some of the uses as regular activities but he was not happy and asking more and more, So we decided to update you all here about srvctl command and syntax which we ran the help command on server in Categories by.
It may not very useful but for future reference it will be very to get help from here either in real time scenario or for interviews. After telling these Headings only will be enough for anyone. We have highlighted the main things.
