has anybody got the check_oracle plug-in working? I usually try to do 
this stuff from the command line first to see how it works before 
creating the check_command definition but it's not working for this 
plug-in. The error I get is:

./check_oracle --tns 192.168.1.99
Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid 192.168.1.99

Which according to --help is supposed to check a remote oracle server, 
so why on earth is it asking for ORACLE_HOME, when this machine has no 
oracle on it and won't have a home? The same happens when using the tns 
name (which also resolves via dns).
    
check_oracle is a shell script that calls tnsping or sqlplus to
do its work.  It requires that the oracle client utilities be
installed for it to work. You need to either run this via
ssh/NRPE or install Oracle on the host initiating the check.

is there a better binary plug-in anywhere that doesn't have these dependencies?

It would be nice to get this working...
