Wait Nowait Specify the Wait qualifier to cause Oracle RMU to close and recover the database before the system prompt is returned to you. The default is the Nowait qualifier. With the Nowait qualifier, the database might not be closed when the system prompt is returned to you. You can receive errors when you attempt to access a database after you issued the RMU Close command and the system prompt is returned, but before the monitor has closed the database. See the Usage Notes for restrictions on using the Wait qualifier.
