Using Shutdown Immediate

        I'm writing a cold backup script for our databases and I'm seeking
some advice on shutdown immediate. I would like to ensure that all connections
to the database are closed; thus I have writen a shell script to kill all
user processes. It has been my experience that they don't always die! My 
questions is: is it ok to do a shutdown immediate, startup, shutdown normal,
and then start my backup? What are the pros and cons?



        Thanks..
