* SEMMNS Set to the sum of the PROCESSES parameter for each Oracle * database, adding the largest one twice, then add an additional 10 for each * database. See "Configure the UNIX Kernel for Oracle8i" for an example of this * formula. * Single Oracle instance, 150 max processes, more likely I'm using 40 of them, with only 7 of them being the shadow processes for my code.
