We replace the simple shutdown command with:

        shutdown immediate
        startup restrict
        alter system switch logfile;
        host sleep 10
        shutdown immediate

We recently installed 9.2.0.2-64bit on AIX. As of that release, Oracle is
still shipping dbshut with simply shutdown normal.

Yes, that should be a standard practice any time you perform an new Oracle
install.
Otherwise, that database will problably always hang waiting for all sessions
to
disconnect before completing the shutdown.

I believe the latest versions of Oracle have corrected that issue in the
dbshut
script.

I have one Oracle instance which supports an application
server which always maintains a database connection.
The UNIX system administrator tells me that this instance always
hangs when she tries to shut down the system.  The other instances,
which do not support a 24x7 process shut down properly.

Looking at $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut, I notice that the input to sqlplus
is
        connect internal
        shutdown

Should I modify the script to "shutdown immediate" so that it kills
any connections?

Environment is Oracle 8.1.7 /AIX 4.3.3.

Thanks,
