Hi Gurus,

I just setup Oracle 10gR2 on Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike). After creating db, during my checks on processes - by "ps -ef | grep ora_" - nothing turned up!
I am still logged in sqlplus with following messages. Also doung tail -f on alert log under still other session.

SQL> startup

<< some X and gnome processes removed >>

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this alarming for any reason (except "that oracle is not supported for this release of OS!") ?

Thanks,
DP
