Dear All,

restart EMS service by using monconfig command.

suxde900 # /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

============================================================================
=================== Event Monitoring Service ===================
=================== Monitoring Request Manager ===================
============================================================================

EVENT MONITORING IS CURRENTLY ENABLED.
EMS Version : A.04.00.01
STM Version : A.42.00

============================================================================
============== Monitoring Request Manager Main Menu ==============
============================================================================

Note: Monitoring requests let you specify the events for monitors
to report and the notification methods to use.

Select:
(S)how monitoring requests configured via monconfig
(C)heck detailed monitoring status
(L)ist descriptions of available monitors
(A)dd a monitoring request
(D)elete a monitoring request
(M)odify an existing monitoring request
(E)nable Monitoring
(K)ill (disable) monitoring
(H)elp
(Q)uit
Enter selection: [s]

here first kill with "K" and then enable again with "E"

this is for "kcmond" which monitors kernal usage.
rest of the processes are used by oracle. check fr any hung process

No need to restart ems,becaz regitrar process not creating any issue on this now(it looks like ems not configured )..i suggest you to work with oracle team and ask them to fine tune oracle db ,still you are facing issue,then better to go for addln processos.
