Look at setting the sqlnet.expire_time parameter in your server's $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora file.

I am using CGI/Perl (DBD Oracle) on Linux AS 2.1 to access to the database. When users encounter problems on the web, they cancel (or press stop) in their browsers. This will stop there browser interaction and also cause the database connection to not disconnect which causes a runaway process. Is there an article that I can read or a procedure/module or process that someone has written within CGI or DBI (or sometimes else) that will allow me to kill my database connection when a users stops an execute within his/her browser?
