Actually, I wasnt saying dont ever do a shutdown abort. My point is you shouldnt do it unless you have to. LIke, when the database is hanging. Shutdown immediate works perfectly well almost all the time. Like I said, if Oracle says a shutdown abort is now as safe as a shutdown immediate, I havent heard it.

an init 6 is the same as a reboot,.. it will execute the K scripts in each level from 6 down to 1 and then reboot. If the K##oracle scripts have been created in levels 3, or 4 like they should have the database will be shutdown cleanly anyway.
