Magnus,
Did you check dba_jobs before you run them manually this morning?
Did you see "broken" jobs? When you run jobs manually, "broken" changes
from Y to N.
If yes - there supposed to be corresponding trace files in "udump"
directory. Or look for more _j000_ or _j001_ and so on in bdump
directory with the timestamps between Saturday and this morning.

Igor,
The database only goes down Saturday mornings for cold backup. I'm doing hot backups the rest of the week. I'm thinking about changing this to only to hot backups since I've read that there is no reason to do the cold, but that is an other thread I might start to iron that out. My guess is that the problem started saturday, but I didn't catch the issue before Tuesday morning. The reason you see all the jobs executed this morning is that I had to run them manually. We have several processes that are depending on these procedures being run. They do not execute on their own.
Hope this makes sense.

Magnus,
When you are saying that jobs stopped executing on Tuesday, does it mean that they were not executed since then?
Your output from dba_jobs shows that all your jobs were executed this morning (probably when your instance was started) and they all are scheduled to be executed tomorrow at different times (probably, as they are supposed to).
The reason they all were executed this morning right after instance started is that most probably your instance was down at the time when they were scheduled to be executed, and when oracle starts, it checks if it missed to execute some jobs while the instance was down.
And if it finds such jobs that "missed" their scheduled time, it will execute them immediately (not waiting for next scheduled time).

Theseare the closest to when I saw the problem. Could this have "hung" since the database bounced?
