------------------------------

I believe the Apache issue is because we're using HTTPSD, and the shutdown script is attempting to shutdown HTTPD instead of HTTPSD.

Not sure on the Oracle, as the server's names are valid in /etc/hosts I'm guessing that the Oracle init/shutdown scripts need a FQDN for the server?

Apache did appear to shutdown, but Oracle is still running.

As I'll need to restart at least the PROD server after the time change, I'll have to shutdown ORACLE some way, I guess by doing a server software restart. I'll see if you have a doc on manually shutting down Oracle first before I try that.

Resolution:
Please note that the startup/shutdown mechanism was working properly, but, the error message was due to a second unnecessary shutdown - which could not occur after the first time,

We've erased the unnecessary line from the script and no errors will be displayed,
