type the following command at the $ prompt

ps -ef&#124grep smon

this will give the process ids of all the pmons of all the instances hosted on the server .

hope this works.

with best wishes.

You can use this:

$ ps -ef | grep ora_

but sometimes, db can hang and still the background processes to be running. The best way is to:

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SQL> exit

You can wrap this in shell script as:

ORA_TEST=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
select sysdate from dual;
exit
>>EOF

Then test the $ORA_TEST.

Hope that helps,

follow the steps
1. get login on solaris as oracle
2. ps -ef &#124grep ora
it will give all the background processes running for oracle.
if it does not run any thing means ur oracle instance is not running
