Hi,

This actually means from a terminal session a root user have switched over to as user oracle...

If u want to now what are the commands executed by that user just give history 100 and it will give you the last 100 command sexecuted in your system.

Check the commands executed after doing an su -.

You may find some clue

Thanks,
Siva

Hi,
I would read this not as an interactive, but a cron login as tty?? means no terminal attachment.
Check your cron /cronlog for root.
Is there something like "su - oracle -c" in any of the called scripts?

Thanks for help.
With your help, i can be sure thant No cron task has send a shutdown database command. Maybe some scheduler like $Universe or Oracle.
I 'll investigate.
