Miles-

Are you on Windows? If so, it is easy to write a batch script to get this
done. If not, have you ever used the "Groovy" scripting language?
http://groovy.codehaus.org/

I have used it for similar scripting as well.

Subject: Automated shut down on 9i



Hi I had a very nice script written years ago to shutdown a DB and take a
cold back up and restart the DB
This used Svrmgr connect internal which fell away with 9i.

Does anyone know of a work around , am trying sqlplus xxx/xxxx 'as sysdba'
but not getting far, just frustrated.
I also tried net stop oracleservice but this times out and the copy starts
before the db is shutdown


Any ideas would be welcome

Many Thanks
Miles
