Hi all,

Is it possible to configure Oracle 9iR1 to send an e-mail whenever the
instance shuts down? I know that I could create a shell script to shut
the instance down and send a mail, but I can't be sure that folks will
always use the script. I'm wondering whether there's an Oracle file
somewhere that always gets read during an instance shutdown, to which I
could add a line that would send the mail. Maybe there's a PL/SQL
procedure that would handle this... what's the best way to get the
system to send this e-mail?

TIA
Tarby
