Funnily enough I have just  been trying to identify rogue processes at the
Unix level and did the following 

Ps -ef|grep oracle | sort -nr +2 

Which gave me a lsit of processes with the 3rd field not set to a genuine
owner process. I removed all the pmon, arch processes etc and was left with
the following line
oracle  22138      1   0 16:52:16      -  0:00 oracleeval
(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=no)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))

Going into sqlplus I queried V$session with the following query

select sid,serial#,paddr,process from v$session order by 2,4

and determined that the process 22138 was not listed in Oracle and therefore
was defunct. I therefore believe that it is correct to kill -9 the Unix
process.

Is my thinking correct on all this
