All it means, that there is some other service running, that depends on
oracle service.
The simplest way to find it is to go to ControlPanel/Service, and try to
stop OracleService<SID>.  It will show the dialog box with the name of
"dependnet" service and ask for your confirmation to stop that service
(as well as OracleService<SID>>).  If you proceed, it'll stop both
services.

In the future, if you want to use oradim to stop oracle service, you
will have first to stop dependent serice, using:

Net stop <dependent_service_name>

and only then use oradim to stop oracle service.

Subject: ORA-00018

Receiving the following error when using oradim to shutdown a database:

DIM-00018: Failed to stop Oracle Service
O/S-Error:  (OS 1051> A stop control has been sent to a service which
other running services are dependent on.

This is Oracle 9.2 database on NT4.0.  I've reviewed postings on
Metalink but no answers were found.

Anyone have an idea of something to try?  I have stopped the services
through the control panel and stopped the application which references
the database.  I don't find anything in the alert log.  There is a trace
log but that is like reading brail when you've never had too.

Thanks,=20
