Re: PMON is not removing killed/inactive processes .. is there a way to kick it into action?

I believe that you keep in the mind (inactive processes) processes that left in the server memory after client abnormally disconnected from server, for example via shutdown by power supply switch.

So check operating system feature - keepalive timeout.
