Sometimes the only way to get Oracle's PMON to wake up is to kill the OS process that the session was attached to. You can find the PID with the following query:

SELECT RAWTOHEX(ADDR), SPID FROM V$PROCESS

            WHERE ADDR IN
            (SELECT ADDR FROM V$PROCESS
             WHERE PROGRAM NOT LIKE '%(S%'
               AND PROGRAM NOT LIKE '%(D%'
               AND PROGRAM NOT LIKE '%(P%'
               AND PROGRAM != 'PSEUDO'
             MINUS SELECT PADDR FROM V$SESSION
                   WHERE STATUS NOT IN ('KILLED','SNIPED'));

Subject: Killed session doesnt release resources

Hi,
I am facing a problem in my

Dual Processor ,4 Gb RAM ,HP-UX 11.11,Oracle 9.2.0 Box.Whenever a session is killed it doesnt release the resources a long time.The other problem I face is if someone uses a heavy Report (Oracle Report Developer Executable) and then sits idle even then it doesnt release the resource. Any inputs??.
