One of our vendors likes to use the utility orakill all the time. From the docs I found:

The orakill utility should be used as a last resort only. If the session cannot be killed more gracefully (via alter system kill session), or the instance is inaccessible via SQL, then orakill should be used to terminate the offending session.

But this not is about if is the right tool or what, I have a question related to the tool.

Is there a way to monitor what locks it kills? Since our vendor gave access to it to a variety of folks I need to be able to monitor its use. Who is using it and what sessions they have killed. Anyone know of a way?

Thanks!
