Re: Fwd: How to shutdown 9i?

Hi Chris,
Are backups scheduled? Will the server be booted before or after the backup? How much data-loss is allowed? Do you have all archives available on tape/another system? Just in case the reboot doesn't help and the server won't start nor allows 'shell' access after the init 0/init 6. You will probably get access to the disks after a while, but is that fast enough?

Best regards, Carel-Jan Engel
