I'm sure you know _way_ more about it than me, but I've noticed starting it up repeatedly on a particular box with scripts that the ohs is very variable in how it responds. It seemed to be based on something that starts before it that it is dependent on (opmn), but I just don't know enough to figure it out. My wild speculation is opmn is being arbitrarily and capriciously shunned by the OS for something it needs. To be honest, I do think it is Oracle, which should be able to handle OS issues ("bug closed, infeasable to fix" is BS!), but I blame bg anyways for my own ignorance of the Windows tools for resolving these kinds of problems (assuming there _are_ any suitable tools - I would think that resolving this would be Oracle's job).
