- I dont recognize the machine that you're running on but assuming that you're
- running Oracle 6 and using SQLDBA then the question is : Are you entering
- SHUTDOWN or SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE ?
- A straight SHUTDOWN will wait for any sessions currently going to complete
- whereas the IMMEDIATE normally causes Oracle to stop. I say normally because
- it hasnt always worked for me.

- Hope this helps
