Shutdown during reboot (script help)

Is there a way to shutdown the database from the a command line other then dbshut?

I am running 7.3.2.1 on Solaris 2.4 and when I go to reboot the machine dbshut does not know
how to kill the active sessions. So my machine hangs...

I would like to use the svrmgr command shutdown abort, but I can't get it to take multiple parameters.

Thanks,
David Sivick

Here is my shutdown script:

#! /bin/sh
#
#
case "$1" in

'start')

        echo  "Starting oracle database" > /dev/console
        if [ -f /oracle/home/.cshrc ]; then
                su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart ; \
                $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start' >> /var/adm/vt/ora-log 2>&1
                echo   "Database is up" >  /dev/console
                echo "" > /dev/console
        fi


        ;;


'stop')

        echo  "Stopping  oracle database" > /dev/console
        if [ -f /oracle/home/.cshrc ]; then
                su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut'  >>
/var/adm/vt/ora-log
 2>&1
                echo  " database is down"       > /dev/console
                echo "" > /dev/console
        fi


        ;;

*)

        echo "usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}"


        ;;
