Re: Fwd: How to shutdown 9i?

there's always the "worst case scenario" -- if you are sure you have
good backups and can recover from them, just bring down the server
without shutting down Oracle -- this is, after all, one of the
scenarios Oracle recovery is designed to handle.

Before trying that, I would attempt to get in via sqlplus, as Paula
suggested. However,  instead of a shutdown immediate, I would do a
shutdown abort -- shutdown immediate can still hang, waiting for a
process to finish.
