"local=yes" processes attached to spid 1
Opening this new thread on the advice of Oracle support engineer that took care of the the SR I opened at Oracle support.
We used to kill locally started Oracle database connection (local=yes when doing a ps -ef) that lost their child/father relationship i.e. linked to process 1.
When we finally moved the database to Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) I discovered that some local process attached to 1 are genuine process and should not be killed. Going further I also saw that it is linked to the usage of -S option (silent option). Our operationg system is HPUX Itanium 64 bits.
