Hi Sybrand and everyone else who reads this,

Thanks for answering my question!

So, you really mean it's not even a shutdown abort? That could explain some things for me. That is because I always close any open connections first before I shutdown my computer. (It's easy to be an administrator when you're the only user.. ;-)

Do you know why can you stop the services like that? Is it a thing of NT or Oracle?
And, more interesting, do you know how I can do a proper shutdown automatically when I want to shutdown my computer? (I know that it must be dangerous to say this in this group but when you work with a Mac you don't only have a startup folder but also a shutdown one and that would be very handy....)  

TIA again,
