Is it possible that the init.ora parameter job_queue_processes was
altered when the database was restarted following the cold backup ?  
 
If that parameter is set to zero the jobs will not run.

        Igor,
        
        The database only goes down Saturday mornings for cold backup.
I'm doing hot backups the rest of the week.  I'm thinking about changing
this to only to hot backups since I've read that there is no reason to
do the cold, but that is an other thread I might start to iron that out.
My guess is that the problem started saturday, but I didn't catch the
issue before Tuesday morning.  The reason you see all the jobs executed
this morning is that I had to run them manually.  We have several
processes that are depending on these procedures being run.  They do not
execute on their own.
        
        Hope this makes sense.
        
        Magnus

                When you are saying that jobs stopped executing on
Tuesday, does it mean that they were not executed since then?
                Your output from dba_jobs shows that all your jobs were
executed this morning (probably when your instance was started) and they
all are scheduled to be executed tomorrow at different times (probably,
as they are supposed to).
                 
                The reason they all were executed this morning right
after instance started is that most probably your instance was down at
the time when they were scheduled to be executed, and when oracle
starts, it checks if it missed to execute some jobs while the instance
was down.
                And if it finds such jobs that "missed" their scheduled
time, it will execute them immediately (not waiting for next scheduled
time).
                 
                HTH
                Igor

                I found two trace files with the same time stamp on
them.  These are the closest to when I saw the problem.  Could this have
"hung" since the database bounced?
