HelloI'm using 11.2.0.3 entrerprise in linux RH 6.4(Santiago)  x84-64.

There are many process "grep LOCAL=NO" created  and very quickly I get ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (150) exceeded.
when I try to connect as sys  into sqlplus.
It seems that the old processes are not be cleared by the system.
The "select count(*) from v$process" is encreasing continuosly until it reach the limit of 150 then I get  ORA-00020 error.

What it is going on? any idea Please?

regards
Giorgio
