greetings all,

I am running a Solaris 2.7 operating environment. My dba had a problem in which he had 2 oracle (8.1.6) instances running. One instance died but the shared memory segment was never removed. When I view the shared memory through ipcs the "CPID" field is that of a non-existant process. As it turns out the SVRMGRL forks off a process that starts the oracle instance and then exits, so now I have no way to determine which shared memory segment belongs to the remaining Oracle Instance.

The only way I thought to procede in the future was to set up a separate user id for each oracle instance.

Does anybody have any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Ian
