RE: Help, processes won't die

I
believe that I read somewhere that issuing a kill session will NOT free up the memory from that session.

  I need some assistance ASAP.  Our nightly batch process   seems to have hung up for some strange reason (ok no biggie my boss says kill   it and start it again).  The problem is I have killed the processes both   in oracle (sid, serial#) and also in unix. Now I can't see the processes in   unix but in oracle they have a status of killed but are still holding the   resources. My thinking is telling me the pmon is not waking up or not doing   it's job. How can one manually tell a process to wake up. Any help will be   greatly appreciated.
