RE: How to find a listener service without running lsnrctl servic

how about a script that simply does a connect dummy/user and issues a select ping from dual;

This way, you are connecting to the database (through the listener) and you even know the database is up..

Nothing fancy, no bells and whistles..

Hi Djordje,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Doing grep for a specific service on an output produced by lsnrctl services, yes, I could get the answer. However, I am trying to create a shell script through which the user will find whether a specific listener service is up or not. The problem is I do not want to give the password of listener. Also, by greping the output of lsnrctl --- this output could have been produced some time back but at the time the user is querying the service might be down.

Please suggest a way to do the above.

Thanks,

Why not running it from a script, and grep and awk from output wht you need to see ?
