These are mostly oracle database background processes and are almost certainly not hung. The ? just means they are not attached to a terminal. Under no circumstances should they be killed.

The first one (PID 3845) is an oracle client shadow process and its parent ought to be a sqlplus session or something similar and might be hung.

These are probably not related to your problem.

If you want to get rid of the hung process, kill -9 3845 as root ought to get rid of it and you can then bounce the database if you want.
