I have posted a lsnrctl-like program in our lsnrctl wiki page.
This is a Windows stand-alone program which requires no Oracle client (or rather server as lsnrctl utility is now only in the server delivery).

The help is the following one:
C:\>McTns -h

McTns Version 2018.12.11 - Copyright (c) Michel Cadot, 2016-2018. All rights reserved.

Usage: McTns.exe
       { -h |
         [-dir <listener.ora directory>] [-tim <timeout>]
         [[<command> [<parameter> [...]]] { <listener name> | <host>:<port> }]
       }

with
  -dir <directory>         Gives the directory for listener.ora file.
  -h                       Displays the version and the usage help.
  -tim <timeout>           Gives the timeout (in seconds) on connection to listener,
                             default is 5 seconds.
  <command> [<parameter>]  Gives the listener command to execute and its parameters.
  <listener name>          Gives the listener name.
  <host>:<port>            Gives the server name or IP and port of the listener.

If a listener name is given, the program searches for listener.ora file:
* if "-dir" option is given, in this directory.
* otherwise, first in TNS_ADMIN directory if set, then in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
Note: PROTOCOL, HOST and PORT must be given in this order in the listener entry
description (program restriction).

The program is provided as it is without any guarantees or warranty. Although the
author has attempted to find and correct any bugs in this free program, the author
is not responsible for any damage or losses of any kind caused by the use or misuse
of the program. The author is under no obligation to provide support, service,
corrections, or upgrades to this program.

You can freely use, copy and distribute this program but you can't modify it without
the permission of the author you can contact on http://www.orafaq.com
You can post your comments, ask for improvements, report bugs... on the program at
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/200306/
I encourage you to subscribe to this topic (link at top of the page) if you want to
be informed when a new version is released.
Here are two examples of its usage compare to the same lsnrctl output.

Note: A difference with lsnrctl is that you can send command that is not known (is not in the "help" list), the program will transmit it to the listener so a difference in this case in the returned result:

Some other differences with lsnrctl are the following ones.

First, "McTns start" does not really start a listener, it just pings it and returns you if the listener is already started or not. Note that this is also the behavior of a remote lsnrctl.

Then, McTns supports more display modes.
Let's show what lsnrctl provides:
LSNRCTL> help set displaymode
set displaymode RAW | COMPAT | NORMAL | VERBOSE: output mode for lsnrctl display
NORMAL is the standard output.
COMPAT gives an output compatible with older versions.
VERBOSE adds some information.
RAW shows the information as a parenthesized string like the description of the listener in listener.ora file.

Normal display mode
LSNRCTL> set displaymode normal
Service display mode is NORMAL
LSNRCTL> status

Note: VERBOSE and RAW display modes are only taken into account for "status" and "services" commands.

McTns returns the same output for the same display modes but also add 2 other modes:
McTns> help show displaymode
show displaymode: shows output mode (COMPAT|NORMAL|VERBOSE|RAW|RAW+|DUMP) for McTns display
RAW+ mode displays the parenthesized string as indented one.
DUMP mode displays the dump of the IP packets received.

Also these modes are available for all commands.
With RAW+ mode the output of the "status" command becomes (click on the spoiler title below to see the result):
Output of "status" in RAW+ display mode
This is quite easier to read than the standard RAW mode.

RAW and RAW+ display modes are useful when you want to see information that lsnrctl does not usually display and format but might be useful in some cases. It also helps to learn some more or less documented parameters.

DUMP display mode will be useful if you want to see and learn how a listener answers to a request.
For instance, the answer to the "reload" command in Oracle 11gR2 is:
McTns> set displaymode normal
Display mode is NORMAL
McTns> reload
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1531)))
The command completed successfully
McTns> set displaymode dump
Display mode is DUMP
McTns> reload
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1531)))

McTns also knows the "ping" command.
So if you create a listener.ora file (it does not matter you have or not an Oracle client) in, say, the C:\ directory, with all your listeners like:
LISTENER_ALL = 
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1528))
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1529))
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1530))
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver)(PORT = 1531))
      )
    )
  )
You can check all your listeners in a single command:
C:>McTns -dir C:\ ping listener_all

New version with the following:
  • Support of 18c (with new error messages and new "remote_registration_address" parameter for SCAN listener)
  • Implementation of "spawn" command which is (slightly) documented but not implemented in lsnrctl
  • Improvement in "show all" command (which is not known in lsnrctl)
  • You can now just use "X" for "show X" (see example below)
  • Fix an important bug: sometimes the listener reports "successful" in first packet of its answer then an error in subsequent ones, this is now supported (previously McTns wrongly returned the command was successful)
If you want see the value of parameter X you can now just type "X" instead of "show X":
McTns> current_listener
Current Listener is LISTENER
McTns> log_file
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1531)))
myserver:1531 parameter "log_file" set to E:\Oracle\diag\tnslsnr\myserver\listener\alert\log.xml
The command completed successfully
McTns> oracle_home
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1531)))
ORACLE_HOME="E:\Oracle\Ora11204"
The command completed successfully
This is true for all parameters and will be unless the parameter name is also a listener command.

Thanks Michel for sharing these cool and useful tools!
The link to lsnrctl (and to wiki) seems to be broken today?!

MediaWiki internal error.
Original exception: [XBu0IIpKnmdbs51d-SD51wAAABY] 2018-12-20 15:24:16: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Assert\ParameterAssertionException"
Exception caught inside exception handler.
