Hi all,

9.2.0.5.0 on Aix 5L.
Before our cold RMAN backups, we shutdown and startup the instances as foll=
ows:

sqlplus '/ as sysdba' <<EOD
shutdown immediate
startup
shutdown immediate
startup mount
EOD

Sometimes both shutdowns seem to time-out automatically (certainly
while Oracle is busy rolling back some huge transactions):

Both "user requested cancel" aren't human actions and it seems that
both shutdowns time-out after 1 hour.

What might be the cause of thes time-outs giving that sql*net is not
involved and that sys's profile is "default" (idle_time=3Dunlimited). I
can't find any relevant time-out parameter for sqlplus (only for
isqlplus).

TIA,
Jerome
