Yes, but:

1. dbstart/dbshut start/shutdown every instance on your machine (which has a Y in /etc/oratab).
2. You should modify dbshut. In its original version it just issues a "shutdown". This may take some years as Oracle waits until all connections are closed by the clients. I'd suggest that you change "shutdown" to "shutdown immediate" or "shutdown transactional".
