Don't know why "shutdown abort" doesn't work in your case, but wouldn't the "shutdown immediate" put a database in the exactly the same clean state as "shutdown abort, startup, shutdown"? And it would finish the task more quickly as there would be no extra instance starting and database mounting/opening. And with the "shutdown immediate" the whole process is under the control of Oracle RDBMS all the way, while with "shutdown abort" it is not.
