Message-Id: <10702.123759@fatcity.com> From: Clinton Naude Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 11:19:06 +0200 Subject: RE: shutdown immediate Hi. why not try the command "shutdown", that is better than an abort. I know it doesn't answer your question, but before you start trying shutdown abort.... The shutdown command will terminate the processes properly, not like shutdown abort. Thanks Clint -----Original Message----- From: Weerd Kirsten, E.C. de [mailto:Kirsten.deWeerd@Oranjewoud.nl] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2000 9:36 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: shutdown immediate Hi, I would definately check if one (or more) of Oracle's background processes is eating away CPU on the machine. As Satar Naghshineh suggested, Oracle is probably performing rollback or whatever ... Bare in mind though, a shutdown abort will bring the DB down, but after starting it, the background process will probably start recovering. No tellin ghow long that will take. No real problem though, other users can just go to work, it might cause some performance-loss tho ...
