客户打电话告之数据库再次出现挂起现象，于是部署oswatcher在其主机上运行，oswatcher确实是好工具，强烈推荐。

观察oswatcher一栏oswps中发现listener竟然派生出一个子进程

经查是Oracle bug所致。
解决方法如下
1、在监听文件里添加SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER=OFF
引用
$ more listener.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = RADINFO)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = RADINFO)
       )
)

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hpuxa)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER=OFF

2、或者在$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf目录下将ons.config文件移除
引用
$ pwd
/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/opmn/conf
$ ls -rtl
total 6
-rw-r--r--   1 oracle     dba             71 Feb 21  2006 ons.config.tmp
-rw-------   1 oracle     dba             44 Feb 28  2007 ons.config.backup.10203
-rw-------   1 oracle     dba             66 Mar 22 15:11 ons.config.bak


详见metalink。340091.1，现主要摘录如下

Solution
引用
Bug 4518443 is fixed in 10.2.0.3

- OR -

Apply Patch 4518443  for the problem (if a patch is available)

- OR -

As a workaround, the following parameter can be added to listener.ora
SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener_name>=OFF
Where <listener_name> should be replaced with the actual listener name configured in the LISTENER.ORA file.

For example, if the listener name is LISTENER (default), the parameter would be:
SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER=OFF

This will prevent the listener from registering against ONS (Oracle Notification Services), which is the area affected by bug:4518443. For more information on ONS, please refer to eg. the Oracle10g Release 2 documentation ("Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide").

Please note, adding SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener_name> to listener.ora file on RAC, will mean that FAN (fast application notification) will not be possible. See Note 220970.1 RAC: Frequently Asked Questions for further information on FAN
