From: Joan Hsieh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Chris, We hang on shutdown immediate, not startup. That's why I choose to use shutdown abort.
Well, in that case of course you'd use it, but personally, if it was me, I'd want to find out why it was hanging, and fix that instead. I'm not suggesting shutdown abort never be used, I'm just saying use the right tool for the right job when you have a choice.
