Huge MMON traces

Greetings,

This is a HP-UX 11.23 machine with 30 or so 10g & 9i databases on it.

The problem was one volume's space maxing out.  Found 4 10.2.0.3 db's
with 2Gb+ MMON trace files with date stamps over 1 month old.  Deleted
these files and cleaned house on several others db's.  Checking disk
space shows the MMON trace file space was not released.  I will look
into note 422954.1 to try to avoid a recurrence, but in the mean time I
would rather not have to shutdown a dozen db's to find the 4 that had
the MMON problem.

Is there any method for finding which databases have these deleted trace
files still open?  Is there a way to close out a MMON trace without
shutting down the db?

Thanks,
Mike Hand
