Oracle Processes on a Unix Server

[THoey]

This is a follow-up to my previous question &quot;Testing to see if Oracle Instance is up on a Remote Server&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>What are the minimum processes that you should see if you do a ps -ef command on a Unix server to signify that Oracle is up and running?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I know of the following:<br><br>ora_dbwr<br>ora_ckpt_TCP1<br>ora_smon_TCP1<br>ora_pmon_TCP1<br>ora_lgwr_TCP1<br>ora_reco_TCP1<br>LISTENER<br><br>I am not sure if that is all of them or if any could be down but Oracle still up.<br><br>Thanks for any ideas...<br><br>

The mandatory processes are dbwr, lgwr, smon, pmon.&nbsp;&nbsp;The instance will stay up if the others go down.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, if Listener isn't up, you probably won't be able to connect to the instance.
