You're not alone! You need to setup a shell script which can be run via 'cron' at prescheduled intervals. The script should have 'superuser' permissions and will do the following:
- identify oracle processes whose parent is 'init', process 1. (how you do this depends upon your particular environment e.g. the 'ps -ef| grep oracl1' will list all the active processes with the text 'oracl1', etc.
- kill these processes
Ask your unix admin. for specifics.
good luck!
