Tom, what we want to do is be able to get back on the head of aolserver for OpenACS and to my mind (and to others I think), not shutting down cleanly on sigterm is a showstopper. The issue I have with it is that when the machine shuts down if aolserver hangs this way then oracle does not shut down either (until the badly behaved things are delivered thier sigkills -- which I think means a sigkill for oracle as well). kill -9 on your db server is not necessarily a great idea.

If it's possible to have aolserver release all the db handles first or something like that so oracle can shut down I would consider it an unfortunate bug but not a show stopper.
