Re: Automatic Oracle shutdown on NT?

Am I missing something here or doesn't oradimXX have a -shutmode and -shuttype parameter ?

If not then I had better revisit the shutdown procedures on my machine. I was under the impression that -shuttype was initiated to send a -shutmode to the database service, and all was OK.
