I have an Oracle 11G server on a Linux (RHEL 5.9) virtual machine. It is not a heavy production server but is used pretty consistently. Normally when I have a scheduled shutdown normally one of our Toronto people prefer to shut down the database. Since the Linux shutdown command issues a kill -TERM on all processes is it really necessary to do the Oracle shutdown prior to the Linux shutdown.
(I'm a bit gun shy because the last time I issued an Oracle shutdown the database got corrupted, but it probably was not my fault). I have DBA privs on the database, but our DBAs are in Toronto and they are no longer allowed to work on servers in the US. -- Jerry Feldman <[email protected]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
