Lisa,
This alias does it for me...
dbsup='ps -ef | grep pmon; ls -al
/u01/oracle/product/v733/dbs/sgadef*'
Output looks like this
>$ dbsup
oracle 12340 1 0 May 06 - 2:41 ora_pmon_SDB3
oracle 13562 1 0 Apr 27 - 7:17 ora_pmon_SDB4
jsmith 147106 40824 0 12:56:44 pts/1 0:00 grep pmon
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 376 May 06 04:01
/u01/oracle/product/v733/dbs/sgadefSDB3.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 376 Apr 27 09:37
/u01/oracle/product/v733/dbs/sgadefSDB4.dbf
The above is a pretty good indication that the database(s) are up.
You could also grep for the other oracle processes (such as smon). It
won't tell you what state (resticted, unmounted, etc.) they are in,
though.
