Sounds like you svrmgrl commands are in a "where document". You need to escape the $,
ie
select name from v\$database ;

Please respond to Subject: svrmgrl echo v$database in
script
ORACLE-L
Oracle 8.0.5
Solaris 2.6
List:
I've created a script (ksh) called from elsewhere that shuts down the
database. I REALLY want to echo the name of the database into my log file
before I shut down. While "select name from v$database" works fine from
svrmgrl interactively, it throws up in the script. I'd guess the $ sign is
screwing it up. (I can get other commands to work within the script.)
However, I don't know what to do about it.
Any ideas?
Thx!!!
