Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Unix script to check database status
Why not simply write a query that gets ran by OS that selects the status and
logins from v$instance. You should be able to parse that simple enough.

Subject: RE: Unix script to check database status
If you try a bogus userid/password and use the ORA-1017 as "proof" that the database is up, you wouldn't know if the database is in restricted session mode. (Something that has burned me before.) I personally think the best way for verifying that the database is up is to create a session (create a userid that only has "create session" privilege and use that for verification.
