Hi Barbara!

Try using a "\" before the "$".

So your script should read:

echo "Stop oracle instance \"${ORACLE_SID}\" at `date` "

           ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/svrmgrl << EOF
                   connect internal
                   select name from v\$database;

EOF Cheers
Suji

List:
I've created a script (ksh) called from elsewhere that shuts down the database. I REALLY want to echo the name of the database into my log file before I shut down. While "select name from v$database" works fine from svrmgrl interactively, it throws up in the script. I'd guess the $ sign is screwing it up. (I can get other commands to work within the script.) However, I don't know what to do about it.

Any ideas?

Thx!!!
