Ron,

Here's some shell script that times out a connection attempt.

You could use something like this to first test the connection.

HTH Jared

OS_USER=jkstill
USERNAME=jkstill
PASSWORD=$(pwc.pl -username $USERNAME -instance $ORACLE_SID)

echo $PASSWORD

unset SQLPATH

# emulating a 10 second shutdown

(

sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF

        connect $USERNAME/$PASSWORD@$ORACLE_SID;
        exec dbms_lock.sleep(10)

EOF
)&

BG=$!

echo BG: $BG

# we only want to wait 5 seconds for shutdown # we are very impatient

sleep 5

STILL_RUNNING=$(ps -flu${OS_USER}|awk '{print $4}'|grep "^${BG}$") echo STILL_RUNNING: $STILL_RUNNING

[ -z $STILL_RUNNING ] || {

        echo Took too long. You could run shutdown abort here
        ps -flu${OS_USER}
        kill -9 $BG
        ps -flu${OS_USER}

}

Ron,

You didn't specify the version. If it's 9i, then you could use the option LOGON to attempt logon only once.

sqlplus -LOGON user/pass_at_remotedb

If the connection is not successful for whatever reason, the prompt returns.
