The $ character has a special meaning in shell scripting. The shell will read it as follows:
.. from v${session}
where:
  $session = environment variableAs there is no such variable the code will be parsed as follows:
.. from vAnd thus result in the following error (table/object called v does not exist):
select 'alter system kill session ' || '''' || sid || ',' || serial# || '''' || ' immediate;' from v
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Solution - escape the $ character as follows:
.. from v\$sessionIt should work...
