Is there a Unix equivalent for ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT

edited Jun 24, 2009 8:32AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
We have 6 databases to shutdown on one server and perform a cold backup within a 4 hour period.  If all 6 "shutdown immediate" clean, then we can back them up in 3.5 hours with 20 mins to spare.  However if one of those fail to shutdown it will timout on the shutdown immediate after 60 mins and the backup exceeds its window and fails.
There is an option on windows for ORA_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to specify the timeout.  But I cannot find something similar on unix.  Ideally, I would like to try the shutdown immediate for 5mins, if it fails then perform a shutdown abort.

Howdy, Stranger!
