This should be in your install guide. Personally, I've had a lot of problems with various things deciding not to let Oracle shutdown, to the point of not even trying to gracefully shutdown with the rc, rather just implement operational procedures to ensure someone does it manually, and shell scripts for the times something will be done automatically (with checking and perhaps kills for the things that prevent shutdown, ie, webservers, custom applications, and people staying logged on).
