Some of my thoughts are:-
1) The final shutdown before an offline {cold} backup should be a shutdown
normal.
2) Some hangs were certainly possible with oracle 7.1.x when trying a
shutdown immediate. Shutdown abort covered this.
3) After the initial shutdown a startup restrict may prevent users logging
on etc before the shutdown normal. Never used it but

Should also work, changing the immediate to an an abort if there's still
hangs.
