2> I hope, of course, you're not running MTS. :)

3> Ever hear of getting stuck latches from killing an Oracle process from the operating system? Using this technique, you will. :) You'd be better of killing them from the database (or better yet modify the client application to support a timeout connection feature)

<ul>Hi,
Environment:SUNOS
5.6
I am working
on a script which should check for processes using
ps
and kill all the processs  which are IDLE for more than 15 minutes.
I need the exact
syntax of the PS command(i mean the command options).
cheers
