Do you have Enterprise manager running? 
That may hang up a shutdown immediate as well.
Shut down agent first and then the database.

Everything ok.?
He felt gutsy and decided ORACLE was robust enough to handle the abort.
Maybe he checked the previous backup was alright and that archives were
available as well:-)

Hello Gurus,

This morning our database locked us out with the error code ORA-01089.
Circumstances surrounding this occurrence were that a cold backup by
Tivoli is taken performed every night at 4AM. 

When I spoke with our senior DBA, he confirmed that the database never
shutdown properly before the backup and sure enough, I could see the
processes this morning from yesterday. This is the second occurrence in
5 days.

So my first question is, why would this happen? And secondly, how do I
deal with it? 

Further to my conversation with the senior DBA, I was informed that
indeed a shutdown abort command was issued but only after it was
confirmed that "everything was ok". What does he mean by that statement?
What is he checking for before issuing the abort command?

Thanks in advance and I would like to apologize if this question has
been posed earlier at some point in time. I did search the archives but
didn't find a satisfactory explanation.
