HELP!! Oracle 8.0.4.4.0 Listener Process on Unixware 7.1

  Hi,

      We had Oracle 7.3.2 Enterprise on SCO open 5 server with NT clients. Example:

      The processes on UNIX (# ps -ef|grep ora) would look like:
      id      parent id        description


      --      ---------        ------------


      24        1              oralistener --listener process
      25        1              ora_pmon_<sid> --b/g process
      25        1              ora_lgwr_<sid> --b/g process
      65        1              oracle<sid> --other process (select) 68 1
oracle<sid> --other
      process(executing proc)

      Now we have moved to Oracle 8.0.4.4.0 on UNIXWARE 7.1 and the
processes (# ps -ef|grep ora)look
      like:
      id      parent id        description


      --      ---------        ------------


      24        1              oralistener --listener process
      25        1              ora_pmon_<sid> --b/g process
      25        1              ora_lgwr_<sid> --b/g process
      65        24              oracle<sid> --other process (select) 68
24              oracle<sid> --other
      process(executing proc) 69        1              ora_p000_<sid>
--?????
      87        1              ora_p001_<sid> --?????

      Questions:
      1. Should the parent id of other oracle processes(65, 68) be the
id of listener(24). It was not the case in
      7.3.2. And what I understand is listener's job is to just listen
to the user process and move out. Is this
      correct?
      2. I dont know what ora_p000_<sid> process is? And its parent id
is that of the operating system and
      not of listener. Also they eat up a lot of CPU time.
      I would appreciate if somebody can help me out in this.
      Regards
      Vijay
