Hi,

I'm currently facing an oracle database server (linux) with a load of 70!.....I'm not able to start an sqlplus session, I think the machine is to busy to start a new dedicated server proces...so I'm also not able to see what the application is doing on the database.

I would like to restart the database to get rid of the connection....what would be the best way?

regards,
Martin

Renice the sqlplus session (and background process). Wait for it to open, then SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE/ ABORT.

You can also try to do a "top" and kill the offending processes.

Alternatively, reboot the server and hope your DB will be OK.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.
renicing unfortunately didn't help. I first killed all the user processen and afterward all the other oracle processes and rebooted the system....everything is fine now, oracle had no problems while recovering.

Regards,
Martin

Won't happen.

I mean, will happen.

Will happen, I mean won't happen, or will it? It is the wont of a operating system to get bogged down with too many processes.

Will you answer no to this question?
