The easiest way is to shut down the instance. If there are any left, it is likely they should be removed. But like hpuxrac suggested, look on metalink for docs explaining it, especially look for the ones about figuring out the key value, even if some are way old. Note:123322.1, Note:1020329.6 and Note:153961.1 are a good start.

See http://marist89.blogspot.com/ for one person's journey on that question. Remember, there are things that apply to all unix/linux, some things that are very platform/hardware specific, and some things vary with kernel settings.
