Anand:
My favorite is still "chk_oerr" on Tim Gorman's web site (www.evdbt.com)
It takes a bit of setup, but does everything! It keeps a file with the
last line previously checked so it only looks at new entries.
chk_oerr.sh (ASCII text file – 11Kb) UNIX Korn-shell script which is
intended to called from the UNIX *cron *perhaps once per day or a couple
times per week. It sends email to the configured email accounts (note the
need for files named ".dbapage" and ".dbamail" in the "$HOME" directory of
the owning UNIX account) when it detects newly-logged ORA- error messages in
the "alert.log" file or in the ".trc" files in the BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST or
USER_DUMP_DEST directories. Also reports newly generated "core" files in
the CORE_DUMP_DEST.
HTH!
