Test if Oracle listener is running

Hi All ,

I am new to shall scripting, i want write an script for oracle tns and listener.

If tns working i want o/p as "Listener and TNS are working"
else o/p should be ""Listener and TNS are not Working"

below is the command in unix to check the tns status, if no output it means TNS is working fine otherwise there TNS or Listener are not working.

Can anybody help to achieve this.

Thanks in Advance.

Code:
if [ -z "$(Your_TNS_Cmd)" ]; then echo "Listener and TNS are working"; else echo "Listener and TNS are not working"; fi

The script looks like below.

Code:
if [ -z "$tnsping ora_tns_name |grep TNS- "]; then
        echo "Listener and TNS are working";
else
echo "Listener and TNS are not working";
fi

if tns is working value of "$tnsping ora_tns_name |grep TNS- " is null ( i mean no o/p).

otherwise it gives some value.

can you suggest how to proceed with the above if condition.

Thanks again.

Hi.

I may be wrong, but tnsping output will never be "null".

IMO, the answer that jim mcnamara gave, which he has since deleted, was the correct answer.

You should test the result of the tnsping command, not necessarily the output.

Code:
# Listener not running...
/home/oracle > tnsping db1

So...
Code:

  echo Listener running
else
  echo Listener not running

This says absolutely nothing about whether any database is actually running!


edit: I've renamed your thread from if else question in unix to Test if Oracle listener is running (which may not be a perfect title, but at least other forum members who know about Oracle will see it, and may offer better help Smilie)
