hi

i am also getting this sort of errors.

the oracle is clearing the connection
but the os doesn't kill the that connection.

when you look at the status of the session
they are shown as SNIPED.

even the kill from oracle
(alter system kill session .........)
has no effect.

then i had to generate the script to generate
a batch to use the orakill utility.

you can try that.

if you want i will send.
