Tier II/III troubleshooting tips?

Good day --
I do a lot 2nd/3rd shift Unix and application support ( I generaly have root access). It would be helpful to me if I had some trouble shooting guildlines that could be used before paging YOU at 03:00.

In other words what can I do beyond checking that the "ora" processes are running? "tnsping" is one that comes to mind also? How about log files or checking database space problems, oracle backup (failure/completion), status of oracle jobs?

Thanks for your advice.
