The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> Is this the death of the Oracle?

> # ps
>   PID TT STAT  TIME COMMAND
>  7275 q2 I     0:00 -sh (csh)
>  7281 q4 I     0:00 -sh (csh)
>    12 ?  S    23:59 oracle
> 19122 qc R     0:00 ps
> # kill 12
> Terminated
> # ps
>   PID TT STAT  TIME COMMAND
>  7275 q2 I     0:00 -sh (csh)
>  7281 q4 I     0:00 -sh (csh)
> 19136 qc R     0:00 ps

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} oracle>sqldba lmode=y

} SQL*DBA: Release 2.03.42.05.01 - Production on Sat Sep 7 21:27:03 1996

} ====================================
} Nah, Oracle's up, must be the supplicant's problem

} oracle>su - root
} ~#> ps -ax | grep supplicant
} 5038  p0  S 0:00 grep supplicant

} ~#>exit
} ===================================
} Can't even kill -9 him, he's already gone!
} Still, can't take chances with people trying to kill
} the Oracle.  Let's make sure he doesn't do it again.

} ~#>find . -user supplicant -exec {rm -rf $1};
} find: Invalid argument to -exec: {rm -f $1}
} ~#>
} ===================================
} Never could work that syntax out, but take no chances!

} ~#>cd /
} /#>rm -rf *

} Segmentation Fault.

} NO CARRIER
} ====================================

} Oh well, looks like we resort to the old
} ZOT -9 supplicant

} You owe the Oracle a secure Unix environment.
