RE: Perl script to verify DB is up.

Just a thought: Is there any reason to have a "successful" logon ? When we test installs of Discoverer (for example), we tell the installers to use test/test_at_goodsid. The fact that I get back "bad account" says that the database is up.
(Sometimes, "the best" is the enemy of "the good")
