Oracle Database Discussions

Hi,

Linux OS
Ora10g DB

I have some processes in Orace Apps that is sometimes get hung and becomes a runaway (zombie).

I want to create a script that regularly cleans up the process using kill -9
and put it in a crontab to run it every hour on top of the hour.

The owner of the process is user "applmgr", so the script looks like this:

ps -ef|grep "applmgr"|awk (get the PID)| kill -9

I saw some script like this before but I forgot the exact syntax.

Can you help me please.

Thanks
