RE: backup controlfile to trace

What about:

sqlplus -s <<EOF >logfile
/ as sysdba
oradebug setmypid
alter database backup controlfile to trace; oradebug tracefile_name
exit
EOF
your_file=`tail -1 logfile`
echo $your_file

Regards,

Waleed

Wow. I had no idea it was so easy! I just tried it out on 8.0.5.1
(svrmgrl)

and 8.1.7.2 (SQL*Plus) and it worked like a charm! Only problem is I can't
figure out an elegant way to capture that information in a variable so that
I can (for example) do:

host mv &trcfile /backups/

SQL> oradebug setmypid
Statement processed.
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;

Database altered.

SQL> oradebug tracefile_name
/webstat/oracle/admin/wbs2/udump/wbs2_ora_22958.trc

8.1.7

For scripting purposes, what is the logic for finding the trc file from alter database backup controlfile to trace cmd? This seems really stupid not being able to direct the output.
