27.2. Shutdown of other Oracle 10g Background Processes

If you installed a pre-configured database using OUI, then several Oracle background processes are now running on your server. Execute the following command to see the background processes:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
ps -ef
To shutdown the Oracle background processes after an Oracle Database 10g installation, you can execute the following commands:
  • iSQL*Plus
    To stop iSQL*Plus, run:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    su - oracle
isqlplusctl stop
  • Database Management Processes
    During the installation of Oracle 10g, OUI offered two Database Management Options:
    If you selected "Database Control for Database Management", then the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control (Database Control) can be shutdown with the following command which stops both the agent and the Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) management service:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    su - oracle
emctl stop dbconsole
    If you selected "Grid Control for Database Management" which is used for full "Grid Control" installations, then the Oracle Management Agent (standalone agent) for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (Grid Control) can be stopped with the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    su - oracle
emctl stop agent
  • Oracle Net Listener
    To stop the listener, run:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    su - oracle
lsnrctl stop
  • Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS)
    To shutdown Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) daemon, run:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    su - root
/etc/rc.d/init.d/init.cssd stop
