Trouble shooting with PID

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our ECC system got stuck while shutting down database. I could get unix PID from Oracle trace file, which created this problem. It happened 2 days back. After which system was restarted. Is it possible to know, which process was running on that PID ?

Thanks,

Raj

HI,

commands:

ps -ef |grep <sid>adm

ps -ef |grep ora<sid>

Thanks,

These are the commands to see the current runing PIDs.The question refers to a PID number (no process name) which was captured in a Oracle trace log.

Syslog is the place were the PID from past 2 days should be logged and the right place to search for it.

Hi Raj,

it is recommended that u consult your UNIX admin to get the PID by parsing the syslogs.

Hope that helps.
