So yesterday the archive log dest disk filled up on one of our prduction systems causing the Oracle DB to halt as it's supposed to. Disk space was tight and there was a bit of data loading done. Anyhow I freed up disk space on relevant drive and proceeded to server console to press the OK button to allow archiving to restart. However, the console was locked by a PC Anywhere session which prevented me from getting to the console window with archive dest full message. Anyhow ended up having to bounce the database. Apart from throttling the user who set the PC anywhere lock on the console and insisting it not be done again I'm wondering did I have any other options apart from a database bounce to overcome this problem?.

Oracle 7.3.3, 8.0.5, 8.1.7
NT4, W2K
