Hi All,

It is one of those days.
Anyway Oracle 8.0.5 / Win 4.0.

I am trying to shutdown instance in Normal mode but just hangs. I am able to shutdown abort and restart. Heck I even rebooted server in case files were locked. There are no errors in alert log

Any ideas why I cannot shutdown in NORMAL or IMMEDIATE. No other users/sessions on the system. I have done this many times but not working today. I need to do this because I want to do an offline backup.

Thanks
Rick
