System: HP-UX 11. Oracle 8.1.7.2

When I do the following to shutdown an instance it appears to hang up.

$> svrmgrl

SVRMGR> connect internal
connected.
SVRMGR> shutdown

it just hangs.
I disconnect my telnet. reconnect.
I see the background processes running.

$> svrmgrl

SVRMGR> connect internal
connected.

SVRMGR> shutdown immediate                                         
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available                                    
SVRMGR> startup                                                    

ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first

The only thing that appears to work is
startup force
