When we run the ps -ef |grep smon on our Linux Oracle server we get a “503” returned for the userID instead of the username that is in the /etc/passwd file for that user id?
[odssp_admin@dss64 ~]$ ps -ef |grep smon 503 5292 1 0 2014 ? 00:24:39 ora_smon_odssp 503 23367 18289 0 16:26 pts/1 00:00:00 grep smon
Thanks
