Shutting down sqlnet

First of all, an apology for my question about shutting down oracle - I did not RTFM closely enough and missed the shutdown immediate command which I suspect is all I need. Thanks to all who responded.

But I have a similar problem with orasrv and the manual does not indicate any type of shutdown immediate command. I'm running on an SGI (IRIX 4) and when doing a tcpctl stop commmand I get back:

        tcputl: 1 subprocesses are active; server will not be stopped

This is listed in the sqlnet user's guide where it says that the action is to ask remote users to log off Oracle. The problem is that we are doing the shutdown in the middle of the night in a batch mode and it is likely that the user just forgot to log off before going home. Any work-arounds? If this is being done as part of a reboot procedure, will it hurt to ignore this message and just reboot the system?

Thanks.
