I usually use "ps -ef|grep smo", similar to what you posted. I don't think it's that difficult to type and if it is that bothersome, then the first thing to type is "alias i='ps -ef|grep smon'" so that it's readily accessible. I also typically keep a text file of all the frequent commands handy for easy copy/paste which may also solve your issue.</p>Dan NorrisFri, 16 Jul 2010 23:42:42 -0000http://www.dannorris.com/2007/08/26/oracle-11g-dbhome-brokenoh-wait-nevermind/#comment-57444061<p>Hi Dan,</p><p>Is there any utility(oracle script) that let me see all the oracle instances running in a server (some command like dblist or dbadmin, dbhome). I'm a consultant and in every place where I go I have to verify almost every time I log into a server wich DB are running ( I mean , I visit many places, and many server that I cannot remember the names of server or databases) so it's sometimes fatiguing(ps -fea|grep pmon) or creating alias that stay only for the session or letting aliases in the .bashrc</p><p>thanks in advance josedial@gmail.com</p>JosedialFri, 18 Jun 2010 09:45:50 -0000
