// so the db has shut down, but I am concerned that I dont get the root prompt back.

What can I do to investigate this?

dbora script below:

ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
ORA_OWNER=oracle

if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then

    echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
    exit
fi

case "$1" in

    'start')

# Start the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values

        su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
        su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
        ;;
    'stop')


        # Stop the Oracle databases:

        # The following command assumes that the oracle login

        # will not prompt the user for any values

        su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
        su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
        ;;
