Oracle startup script won't end.

Hi all!

        I have created a simple script to startup and shutdown my instances automatically. I run the startup script and it doesn't finish, but the shutdown script does. Is this because the script spawns other processes? How can I get the script to end without killing it? This could be an AIX or Oracle issue. I wasn't sure so I posted to both. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the script. (as you can see I'm very inexperienced in script writing)

#!/bin/ksh
set -xv
/u01/home/oracle/product/7.2.3/.profile ORACLE_SID=GOOFY
svrmgrl <<EOF
connect internal
startup
EOF thanks in advance,
