Hi Barbara!
Try using a "\" before the "$".
So your script should read:
echo "Stop oracle instance \"${ORACLE_SID}\" at `date` "
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/svrmgrl << EOF
connect internal
select name from v\$database;
EOF
Cheers

I've created a script (ksh) called from elsewhere that shuts down the
database. I REALLY want to echo the name of the database into my log file
before I shut down. While "select name from v$database" works fine from
svrmgrl interactively, it throws up in the script. I'd guess the $ sign is
screwing it up. (I can get other commands to work within the script.)
However, I don't know what to do about it.
Any ideas?
Thx!!!
