Have you user-0e253b709301@xymon.invalid from hobbit-perl-cl (on

I had tried dbcheck.pl a few years ago and I think it appeared more
complicated and required database privileges that I did not have.
Perhaps I should revisit the script and see if I have much better
luck
the second time around.
You can quite easily disable checks that you don't want, or that
require
privileges you don't have.
However, a quick look at the roracle.ksh script looks like it does
pretty
much
what dbcheck.pl does by default.

I have started looking at dbcheck.pl and so far I am stuck on getting it
to work on a 4 node Oracle RAC. I am just getting started though and I
am a bit ignorant on how tnsnames.ora works and I think that is the key.
I will let you know how it goes and if I have an questions. I still
think it could be useful to have a ksh93 version of bb-roracle.ksh but I
can see why people like to do shell scripts in the original bourne shell
for portability.
