Using AWK in UNIX To remove a specific column of output from a UNIX command for example to determine the UNIX process Ids for all Oracle processes on server (second column) ps -ef |grep -i oracle |awk '{ print $2 }' Changing the standard prompt for Oracle Users Edit the .profile for the oracle user PS1="`hostname`*$ORACLE_SID:$PWD>" Display top 10 CPU consumers using the ps command /usr/ucb/ps auxgw | head -11 Show number of active Oracle dedicated connection users for a particular ORACLE_SID
Display the number of CPUs in AIX lsdev -C | grep Process|wc -l Display RAM Memory size on Solaris prtconf |grep -i mem Display RAM memory size on AIX First determine name of memory device lsdev -C |grep mem then assuming the name of the memory device is mem0 lsattr -El mem0 Swap space allocation and usage Solaris : swap -s or swap -l Aix : lsps -a
Total number of semaphores held by all instances on server
ipcs -as | awk '{sum += $9} END {print sum}' View allocated RAM memory segments ipcs -pmb Manually deallocate shared memeory segments ipcrm -m '<ID>' Show mount points for a disk in AIX lspv -l hdisk13 Display amount of occupied space (in KB) for a file or collection of files in a directory or subdirectory du -ks * | sort -n| tail Display total file space in a directory du -ks . Cleanup any unwanted trace files more than seven days old find . *.trc -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \; Locate Oracle files that contain certain strings find . -print | xargs grep rollback Locate recently created UNIX files (in the past one day) find . -mtime -1 -print Finding large files on the server (more than 100MB in size) find . -size +102400 -print Crontab : To submit a task every Tuesday (day 2) at 2:45PM 45 14 2 * * /opt/oracle/scripts/tr_listener.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 To submit a task to run every 15 minutes on weekdays (days 1-5) 15,30,45 * 1-5 * * /opt/oracle/scripts/tr_listener.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 To submit a task to run every hour at 15 minutes past the hour on weekends (days 6 and 0) 15 * 0,6 * * opt/oracle/scripts/tr_listener.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
