No Mario it works for me but only twice (for CURRENT & ACTIVE log groups)
not for INACTIVE group (It hangs).

Does this confirm that Oracle always puts locks on all CURRENT and ACTIVE
redo log files?

the switch logfile won't work because Deepak
removed all the logfiles in his test, so if you try
a switch logfile the LGWR process tries to open
the next logfile but it doesn't find it.

Your advice is valid if by mistake you remove
only the current logfile.
