This is a little convoluted, but works pretty well once implemented.

In your bp start script, first check to see if the DB is running.....if it is 
running, then shut it down, if not, continue.
Each time the script runs, touch an ordered file in a temp directory....ie 
one.lock, two.lock, etc

In your end script, look for the highest numbered lock file.... delete it and 
exit.
If the highest numbered lock file found is "one.lock" (or the first one 
created), then delete it and start the database.
