Rajesh, 

We use a exe called 
shutdown.exe.
It works quite well.I 
think it is a freeware.

I have attached a copy of 
shutdown.exe.
Copy this file to C:/winnt.
We 
pass it arguments 

shutdown.exe /L /R /T:25 /C /Y

Hi all,
 I am looking for a utility 
(preferably freeware), which can perform a scheduled shutdown of NT 4.0 
server. This I need because of inconsistent behavior of NT for Oracle 
Services. I want to do a scheduled restart after every night 
backup(scheduled).
 Appreciate your inputs and 
suggestions.

TIA,
Rajesh

Shutdown.exe.is part of the NT resource Kit. So I probably wouldn't class 
it as freeware. 
Bill 
would have a fit. :-)

NT Resource Kit supports the shutdown command.
use it.

for W2K: (don't have any NT4 boxen here)

shutdown /L /R /C

is good.

/L - local
/R - reboot
/C - close apps.

RE: NT Scheduled Restart

2001-05-23 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Hi,

I also use this to reboot a server (not our Oracle one though) but beware of
the /C switch - this may not do a clean shutdown of your applications /
Oracle.
From the help on NT4:
C  Forces running applications to close.
   ATTENTION: If you use the /C parameter NT ignores the
  applications option to save data which may
  have changed. You will see no File-Save dialog
  box, because NT will force the application to
  close. This will result in a loss of all data.
  not previously saved !!!

This definitely results in SQL Server getting upset.

That said, why do you need to reboot - for example our NT Oracle server
(81511, NT 4 SP6a) has been up for 238 days?

Regards,
Bruce

RE: NT Scheduled Restart

2001-05-23 Thread Suhen Pather

Bruce,

What I tend to do is not shutdown the Oracle database using the
shutdown.exe.
I execute a script fortnightly that first shuts down
Oracle then calls the shutdown.exe to shutdown the box.

In this way the database is down before the shutdown.exe executes.

Similarly you can write a script to shutdown any application/db before 
kicking off shutdown.exe thus preventing any abnormal shutdown.

Luckily we use MKS Toolkit, I can write korn shell quite easily to do these
routine tasks.

Regards
Suhen
