How to find which ORACLE_HOME a database is running in.

I use this command on linux:

for db in `ps -ef|grep ckpt|awk '{print $2}'`; do
 ps -fp $db; ls -l /proc/$db/cwd
done

sample output:

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
oracle    2452     1  0 Feb19 ?        00:05:30 ora_ckpt_DB1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 19 11:50 /proc/2452/cwd -> /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3EE/dbs
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
oracle    9221     1  0 Feb26 ?        00:02:05 ora_ckpt_DB2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 12:40 /proc/9221/cwd -> /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbs
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD

non-existent process lock port on windows server

I have a database link created between oracle and sqlserver using oracle tg4odbc, the product is installed on windows server and run as service "OracleOraGtw11g_home1TNSListener", but sometime the service cannot started, the root cause of this problem is that the port number 1521 is used by an non-existent process. The first step is to use netstat -bano|find "1521" to get the process id, in my case it's 5844, which shows the connection is from my oracle server 10.8.0.169 H:\>netstat -bano|find "1521"   TCP    0.0.0.0:1521           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       5844   TCP    10.14.45.33:1521       10.8.0.169:42987       ESTABLISHED     5844 however the process id does not show in either task manager or process explorer. The next step is to run tcpview, which shows non-existent under process column, there are three rows, two show status as "listening", the other one shows status "established", right click and k
