Try this. No warranties implied. I wrote it last year and all it does is login using a valid tnsnames.ora entry and does a:

        SELECT INSTANCE_NAME, TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') FROM V$INSTANCE; And returns the results. It is written in Perl and requires the DBD::Oracle module.

Run it as follows:

        dbping -i mydb -u system -p manager

Subject: listener status checking

Hi, we have been using bmc patrol to monitor instance and listener status, but it has reached the point where the number of false alarms from patrol has made it unusable for this.

Does anyone have a shell script or even a stored procedure that uses external table definitions that will read the listener.ora, and preferably connect to each database using each listener, or even do a tnsping on each listener to verify that it is up? We have solaris and aix versions of Unix. Oracle versions run from 8.1.7 to 10.2.0.3
