shutdown.exe does not shut down Oracle service cleanly

[Guest Yong Huang]

On an Oracle list, we discovered that GUI shutdown (Start -> Shutdown)

of the computer correctly runs the group policy shutdown scripts

including "net stop oracleservice". But the command shutdown.exe does

not run it, or does not run it completely, which in Oracle's term

crashes the Oracle instance. Details are in the thread "Auto shutdown

of Oracle for Windows reboot".

Is there a way to let shutdown.exe behave exactly the same as GUI

shutdown? How can I find the difference? I can't watch files or

registry keys accessed with filemon or regmon because these programs

are immediately closed when the shutdown command is issued.
