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,
