I have to write a script to kill those hanging around.  Anything older than 1 day and with a program name of 'XZY' I kill -9 them.  I run this twice a day for business object reports.

I also used to have to run this at a different place for some VB programs they had.

Dick,   Gwen Shapira did a presentation at Hotsos 2011 that involved this type of scenario. 2 of the proposed solutions were as follows (copy and paste from her presentation) :   Another solution will be to modify kernel parameter net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time to a value lower than the firewall timeout values. This should give the TCP keepalive a chance to keep the connection alive. A third solution can be to use SQLNET keep-alive parameter SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME that allows Oracle to send its own keep-alive probes from the server to the client, normally sent every 10 minutes. These probes will also keep the connection a live and not allow the firewall to disconnect it.   Thanks, Finn   From: oracle-l-bounce_at_freelists.org [mailto:oracle-l-bounce_at_freelists.org] On Behalf Of Goulet, Richard Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 9:52 AM

Subject: Dead Connect detect   All,         Many years ago (version 9.2) I toyed with this capability of SQL*Net without much luck.  Has anyone toyed with it in recent times (11.1.0.7) with much success???  I'm facing an issue where we have web servers in a DMZ that connect back to the database and the firewall has a 24 hour idle timeout, so I end up having to manually disconnect some sessions every day.
