Robyn,
I'd vote for
shutdown abort
startup restrict (assuming no user accounts have RESTRICTED SESSION privilege)
shutdown immediate
IMHO there's no particular need to mess with individual processes unless the
above approach doesn't work for you.

Subject: hanging shutdowns
Hello all,
I have a small dilemma I need to resolve. We have several large databases that
do not shutdown quickly due to active processes (usually AQ stuff but not
always) and this has caused problems with cold backups in the past. (I'd
prefer to stop the colds entirely, but have not yet won that debate.)
Another dba wrote a script which first kills all unix processes connecting to
the database, connects to the database to kill all sessions except the sys
connections and then issues a shutdown immediate. We now have another instance
on the server so I need to modify the scripts for the new instance but I'm not
comfortable with the current approach.
Given that I need to have something that works by next Sunday morning, what is
the best way to structure these scripts? Continue to kill everything? Issue a
shutdown, find the remaining active transactions and kill only them? Issue a
shutdown abort, restart, shutdown cleanly and then run the backups? I've seen
discussions on this subject in the past, I'm just wondering if there's any new
solutions or concerns on the subject.
Databases are Oracle 9.2.0.6 <http://9.2.0.6> on HP-UX approximately a TB in
size. (some slightly bigger, some slightly smaller)
recommendations appreciated ...
Robyn
