Right - "According to the documentation"

My question was about why it is NOT working according to the documentation.

We don't want "-w 0" as we do want it to actually fail eventually so that it 
doesn't leave our DB in hot backup mode for say an entire weekend as it might 
take it a while to commit changes (assuming the archive logs filesystem didn't 
fill first due to all the held commits from hot backup mode).

Also it doesn't seem to me the "-w 0" would have helped as it appears to have 
seen the status 25 as an "exit" of the process so the "-w 0" just like the "-w 
12:00:00" would have exited at exactly the same point.

According to the documentation, that should have waited for 12 hours.  To wait 
an infinite time, use the option "-w 0".  You never know how long a job will 
sit in a queued state due to storage contention.
