Order of starting db,listener in 11i

Question

Hi,
This is silly question. what is the order of starting/stopping db and db listener in 11i.
1). We take cold backup every fri and in the backup log file i see that the addlnctl.sh stop <SID> is hanging and after that the whole system (O/S) is hanging.
The O/S Enterprise Linux AS 4.
Appl: 11.5.10.2
DB:10.2.0.3
I modified the script last week to stop
stop db in immediate mode
stop the db listner
start the db
stop db in normal mode
But the backup itself was not taken coz the logfile ends with
shutting down database listener....
Is ther any problem with the order of executing the scripts in the above pattern.
I followed,
Startup/Shutdown order
Any metalink note would be appreciated.
But want to make sure.
Regards
Taher.

Hi Taher;
This is silly question. what is the order of starting/stopping db and db listener in 11i.I belive there is no silly question ;) feel to ask question freely here

Is ther any problem with the order of executing the scripts in the above pattern.I am using cold backup script for my instance too. My script working as:
1. STOPPING ORACLE SERVICES:
#Stop Oracle e-Business Suite Services:
Firts close appl side:
su - $ORA_OWNER_APP -c "$COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/$SID_HOST/adstpall.sh apps/apps"
sleep 240
then close lsnr and database:
su - $ORA_OWNER_DB -c "$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$SID_HOST/addlnctl.sh stop $ORA_SID_DB"
su - $ORA_OWNER_DB -c "$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$SID_HOST/addbctl.sh stop immediate"
2. Starting ORACLE SERVICES:
# Start the Oracle e-Business Suite Services
su - $ORA_OWNER_DB -c "$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$SID_HOST/addbctl.sh start"
su - $ORA_OWNER_DB -c "$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$SID_HOST/addlnctl.sh start $ORA_SID_DB"
su - $ORA_OWNER_APP -c "$COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/$SID_HOST/adstrtal.sh apps/apps"
I belive if you follow this way you wont have problem, this method working so well for me
Hope it helps
