Oracle DB - Two Instances Running

In the process of creating a new DB (manually) I must have inadvertently used the incorrect environment variable at some point and now I have two Instances of the a DB running, but only one is be used (at least as far as we know).

DB vs. db

ps -ef|grep ora_pmon

ps -ef|grep ora_smon

confirms this fact.

Is there any process that would quickly determine which one is the active one?

If the other one is in Initialization/Shutdown mode, is there a process for killing the ora_* processes with kill -9 w/o bringing any other DB's down in the process?

Howdy, Stranger!
