Last I looked, "dbstart" shutdown all running databases, then started everything.
That's not exactly general purpose, and comes with a certain surprise factor if you've already brought up your most important database and now want to bring up the rest. Not recommended except to perhaps just startup everything.

My only experience with "dbshut" was many years ago. I wondered why the shutdowns were taking so long and discovered it was using "shutdown" instead of "shutdown immediate" ... While the latter may seem to take forever on certain production databases, the former really does take forever. ;-)

Cheers, Wayne
