In the past, I have seen databases not shutdown immediate b/c dbms_jobs were running,
not sure if still true w/ 8i 9i?

..which is why we have a shell script that runs out of cron and checks on database
jobs. Here is the SQL that we use to find jobs with problems:
/* Check for broken jobs or jobs that have failed more than 8 times. */
/* Also check for jobs that should have run in the last day, but haven't. */
select job, failures, broken
from dba_jobs
where failures > 8
or broken = 'Y'
or sysdate - next_date > 1
spool check_jobs.lis
/
spool off
Some jobs have to run in the database, such as snapshot refreshes.

While I agree that dbms_job is the right way, we had lots of problems with
dbms_job suddenly failing (i.e. it just stops working) in 9011 and 9012
versions of database. Finally it was something to do with job queue
processes, with the help of OWS we fixed it. BUT, I still don't trust
dbms_job on our 9i production db and hence all critical jobs are run by our
close friend 'cron', it works!.
