Rao,

Re: startup
Start SQL*Net listner in background (i.e.. include & at end of command). I had same problem of startup hang on Digital UNIX.

Re: shutdown
Use ServerManager (svrmgrl) to shutdown database (ora_sid processes) Use lsnrctl to shutdown SQL*Net (Ex. lsnrctl stop listsner) Use wlctl to shutdown WEBServer (Ex. wlctl stop)

Hope this helps.
