For the root permission you should check out "sudo".
@zaxxon:
Sudo is not installed on our HP-UX server, but I'll talk to our administrator later today.

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.
HTH,

@Praveen:
The issue is that the alter system command leaves the original proccesses running in UNIX.
The case at hand is that it is an RF handscanner that connects through telnet to the database. If the scanner loses connection, we can do a reset of the database connection through alter system but for the user to reconnect to the scanner, we need to kill only the rfprocess ids and leave the display process running.

KILL(2) System Calls Manual KILL(2)NAME
kill - send signal to a process
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
int kill(pid_t pid, int sig)
DESCRIPTION
Kill sends the signal sig to a process, specified by the process number pid. Sig may be one of the signals specified in sigaction(2), or
it may be 0, in which case error checking is performed but no signal is actually sent. This can be used to check the validity of pid.
The sending and receiving processes must have the same effective user ID, otherwise this call is restricted to the super-user.
If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all processes in the sender's process group.
If the process number is -1 and the user is the super-user, the signal is broadcast universally except to init and the process sending the
signal. If the process number is -1 and the user is not the super-user, the signal is broadcast universally to all processes with the same
uid as the user except the process sending the signal. No error is returned if any process could be signaled.
If the process number is negative but not -1, the signal is sent to all processes whose process group ID is equal to the absolute value of
the process number.
Processes may send signals to themselves.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
Kill will fail and no signal will be sent if any of the following occur:
[EINVAL] Sig is not a valid signal number.
[ESRCH] No process can be found corresponding to that specified by pid.
[ESRCH] The process id was given as 0 but the sending process does not have a process group.
[EPERM] The sending process is not the super-user and its effective user id does not match the effective user-id of the receiving
process. When signaling a process group, this error was returned if any members of the group could not be signaled.
