What does v$session say for those processes you killed? Did you kill
any corresponding OS processes?

Dear DBA's,

I have a Oracle9i server running in dedicated server mode. I killed
around 50 sessions that were
older than 3 days. But the server process number has not come down.
Why
would be this?

Thanks,
Ancy
