Then point TNS_ADMIN variable to the path where tnsnames.ora is placed and test connectivity locally.
Because I really dont know much about managing DBs, Im working just testing the status of many many servers and this was the way I do it manually, so I think that it would be very simple to just convert it to an script. I have no idea how to create a .ora file, and honestly, I dont want to learn. haha. I jsut need to make this fast and efficient. Thanks for your advices. If this doesnt work I will try to do what u just told me, but ill have to read a little bit first.

path2listing
PATH2LISTING(1) General Commands Manual PATH2LISTING(1)
NAME
path2listing - script facilitating the conversion to managing gconf configuration sources with desktop-profiles
SYNOPSIS
path2listing [options]
DESCRIPTION
This script takes a single gconf path file (the systemwide one, i.e. /etc/gconf/2/path, when not told otherwise) and reads through it in
order to create an ordered list of known configuration sources (it will recurse into included path files when necessary). Using that
ordered list it will then create a desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing file containing metadata for all known configuration sources,
assigning a precedence value to each encountered configuration source so that:
a) the order of sources is the same
b) there is space between the precedence values of the various sources to allow for inclusion of additional profiles in the future.
c) all mandatory sources have a positive precedence value, and all non-mandatory sources have a negative precedence value
In addition to generating the desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing file, this script will also replace the converted path file by one that
assumes that desktop-profiles manages all configuration sources (NOTE: a backup copy of all changed files is made, so you can always go
back to the previous situation).
OPTIONS
-d,--distance
distance between the precedence values of each successive pair of configuration sources (defaults to 50), the idea being that you
leave some space to insert future sources.
-f, --file
path file to convert (defaults to /etc/gconf/2/path)
-h, --help
display the help message
-o, --output-file
file to put the generated metadata in (defaults to /etc/desktop-profiles/desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing). If this file exists
a backup copy will be made prior to overwriting it.
--no-replace-file
don't replace the path file we're converted with one assuming desktop-profiles manages activation
FILES
/etc/gconf/2/path - systemwide gconf path file, default path file to convert
/etc/desktop-profiles/desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing - default name for the file containing the generated metadata
