No, the database control doesn't exist for 9i. You could use the full-blown Enterprise Manager. But then you need a separate server to install it on, + the "intelligent" agent on your 9i db server.
And you will need extra licenses for any of the management packs you wish to use.

I would stay with your own scripts until you upgrade to 10g or 11g.
