Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Old INACTIVE and KILLED sessions
Yes. Sniped sessions are not being cleaned out properly by pmon. We kill the os process associated with the connection using the following script and pmon cleans up after that .
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s / <<EOF > $TMPFILE
set pages 0
set feedback off
select p.spid from v\$process p,v\$session s
where s.paddr=p.addr
and s.status='SNIPED';
exit
EOF
for X in `cat $TMPFILE`
do
kill -9 $X
done
Thanks

Beware that SNIPED sessions could last forever when you limit the IDLE_TIME whether the users couldn't connect through the same connection. F.e. when you use sqlplus. Although the other profile limits work fine.
