    Hi Sam and the rest ,
    I think with sam's method, I'm on the right way to capture the culprit.

    One last question.
    When I went through the ORACLE_HOME, I found out that, the
    default audit trail were a lot(i mean a lot) so I could not really narrow down the time stamp. Do you know of any easier way to narrow the time stamp?

    This is what I did:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit
    ls

    ora_29944.aud ora_43866.aud ora_56872.aud ora_9304562.aud
    ora_29946.aud ora_43922.aud ora_56882.aud ora_9305594.aud
    ora_30202.aud ora_43934.aud ora_56890.aud ora_9308434.aud

    ora_30466.aud ora_44368.aud ora_56914.aud ora_9316174.aud
    ora_30482.aud ora_44896.aud ora_56922.aud ora_9319786.aud

    ora_32196.aud ora_46094.aud ora_57356.aud ora_99546.aud



    NOTE: THIS IS JUST AN EDITED VERSION.
    IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO FIND THE TIME STAMP? OR I HAVE TO GO THROUGH EACH OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY?




    thanks,
    Clinton

    One way to do this is write a shell script that would list the directory and awk the files between certain time frame and then you could reduce the files that you need to search. Other way would be to write a script that would open all the files and search for the "SHUTDOWN" word and then list only those files that has this. One other eaier way is to use the "find " command and search the directory for shutdown and then start analysing only those files.

    Hope this would help you.

    Thanx

    Searching the files for the word 'SHUTDOWN' can be done with a single command:

    grep -i shutdown ora*.aud

    (-i means ignore case)

    or, just to get the filenames

    grep -l -i shutdown ora*.aud

    Also, the ls -l command will give the list of files, including the modification date, if you pipe the output of the ls to the grep command (look at the format of the date returned), you can quickly get a list of files for a certain date.

    e.g.

    ls -l ora*.aud | grep "Mar 08"

    to list all files for the specified date.
