Thanks for trying to help. But the echo "2" didn't work either. However, the way you cleaned it up is awesome.

We approaching it differently. The .bash_profile script gives the option to set postgres clusters (ports). Instead of trying set my port. I am going to put the port in the command. Like this:

psql -p 5432 -c "select 'port: 5432', pg_postmaster_start_time();" | grep "[0-9]-[0-9]" | sed 's/^ //'


Another issue I had was that the Oracle grid control agent seems to do an "su" to another user. We are setting the path of the agent, so when the "su" happens it will already have the path. Just an FYI

fence_rackswitch(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       fence_rackswitch(8)

NAME

       fence_rackswitch - I/O Fencing agent for RackSaver RackSwitch

SYNOPSIS

       fence_rackswitch [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_rackswitch  is  an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the RackSaver RackSwitch.  It logs into the RackSwitch and boots a speci-
       fied plug.  Using the http interface to the RackSwitch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection  may  inter-
       fere with the operation of this agent.

       fence_rackswitch  accepts  options  on  the  command  line as well as from stdin.  fenced sends the options through stdin when it execs the
       agent.  fence_rackswitch can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.

       Vendor URL: http://www.bladenetwork.net

OPTIONS

       -a IPaddress
	      IP address of the switch.

       -h     Print out a help message describing available options, then exit.

       -n plug
	      The plug number to power cycle.

       -p password
	      Password for login.

       -S path
	      Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.

       -l username
	      Username for login.

       -q     Quiet operation.	Only print out error messages.

       -V     Print out a version message, then exit.

STDIN PARAMETERS

       agent = < param >
	      This option is used by fence_node(8) and is ignored by fence_rackswitch.

       ipaddr = < ip >
	      IP address of the switch.

       username = < param >
	      Username for login.

       password = < param >
