One of our servers has several large Oracle database and although they run a 
preschedulecmd from the dsm.opt to shut down, by the time the dbstop command is 
run and the backup starts, some of the databases are still not shut down, the 
datafiles are shown in use and tried multiple times.

Are there inherent ofsets in the pre and post schedule command executions?

Is there anyway to build in a "wait" along with the scheduled command??

Thanks,
