UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi anyone. On my True64 unix, I was wondering if there is command in unix to see if the Database (Oracle8.X) up is??

thanks in advance.

You can use:

$ ps -ef |grep ora_
oracle 28331 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:00 ora_dbw0_[instance name]
oracle 28335 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:02 ora_ckpt_[instance name]
oracle 28329 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_[instance name]
oracle 28337 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:01 ora_smon_[instance name]
oracle 28333 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:04 ora_lgwr_[instance name]
oracle 28339 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:00 ora_reco_[instance name]
oracle 28341 1 0 Sep 29 ? 0:00 ora_arc0_[instance name]

I these processes are up, then Oracle is running. (note
: [instance name] is the name of your istance)
