Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers crontab or looping script to Kill process from user Post 302286034 by sunpraveen on Tuesday 10th of February 2009 07:09:35 AM

Meert,

All Oracle process ids are owned by the oracle software owner (like oracle).

Sounds like you do not have access to oracle user, yet you want to kill processes owned by that user, which can only be done a super user like root.

Usually, killing the session in oracle should clean the unix processes too.

As sys, run the below:

Code:
SQL> alter system kill session 'sid,serial#';

If there is some limitation which prevents you from running the above, then we can think of something. Smilie

HTH,

Regards,

Praveen

KILL(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   KILL(1)

NAME
kill, broke - print commands to kill processes SYNOPSIS
kill name broke DESCRIPTION
Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called name and owned by the current user to be terminated. Use the send command of 81/2(1), or pipe the output of kill into rc(1) to execute the commands. Kill suggests sending a kill note to the process; the same message delivered to the process's ctl file (see proc(3)) is a surer, if heavy handed, kill, but is necessary if the offending process is ignoring notes. Broke prints commands that will cause all processes in the Broken state and owned by the current user to go away. When a process dies because of an error caught by the system, it may linger in the Broken state to allow examination with a debugger. Executing the commands printed by broke lets the system reclaim the resources used by the broken processes. SOURCE
