if you can connect through sql plus as sysdba you should be able to do a 
shutdown immediate
Also oracle does do instance recovery applying all of the online redo log 
information before it opens the database if the database does not open 
gracefully

Still get a good backup first making sure to archive your redo and backup your 
archives would ensure 0 data loss

Carel's questions about archives when a backup will be as well as questions of 
ensuring your application, batches and backups are not hitting the db at the 
same time ensures a fallback plan

Hi Chris,
Are backups scheduled? Will the server be booted before or after the
backup? How much data-loss is allowed? Do you have all archives
available on tape/another system? Just in case the reboot doesn't help
and the server won't start nor allows 'shell' access after the init
0/init 6. You will probably get access to the disks after a while, but
is that fast enough?

Best regards, Carel-Jan Engel
