Vaughan,
I've seen this before. It sounds as if your listener "socket" files are
being
clobbered. These files get put in a temporary, hidden directory
(e.g. /tmp/.oracle). If your UNIX admin is running a job daily to clean up
/tmp, this will hang the listener. I've read a support note on this from
Oracle. You may want to check the Metalink site.
Hope this helps,
Mike
