Hi All,
I want to feed my shell script with the names of currently running
databases. I thought of using ps -ef|grep [p]mon. What I got was the
following:
oracle 20113 1 0 Oct 25 ? 0:01 ora_pmon_TLDEV
oracle 898 1 0 Jul 22 ? 0:06 ora_pmon_TLQA
oracle 944 1 0 Jul 22 ? 0:07 ora_pmon_TLQAVAR
oracle 19588 1 0 Oct 25 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_DBMON
oracle 13509 1 0 12:16:13 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_RMAN
oracle 20450 1 0 Oct 25 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_PRDINF
oracle 13026 1 0 Oct 26 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_TLDVVAR
What I wanted is get only the db name part eg. TLDEV, RMAN, DBMON,etc. I
don't want to rely on oratab file.
I was thinking of using 'cut' to cut out the last field and do some ${X##}
(variable pattern substitution) to get to the dbname bit. The trouble is
the number of fields in a ps -ef output is not consistent. As you can see
I've just restarted RMAN and now it only has 8 fields as compared to 9 for
the others.
Any suggestions? Or another way of doing it?
Using KSH on Solaris 8.
Thanks.
Ross
