Hi Tanel,

It sounds like the sort of command that i will be adding to my security audit checklists and scripts. If access to it were available to a malicious employee he could kill the database without OS access!. Is there a restriction that it can only be run locally? or when the database is not mounted?

kind regards

Pete
