    Lost in Space

    Hi Folks,

    You are hired as a DBA for an Oracle 8.1.7 database on Solaris. You are new to Unix. The system admin is on sick leave for a week.
    What type of unix commands should you be using just to check the database?

    I already setup my laptop to talk to the database but I wanted to access the following on the box.( I know I am getting some Unix books)
    but just need some quick commands to do these things.
    How do I get to the
    -Alert log
    -Init.ora...(That I can get to it from the command line) but need to access that on unix box.
    -Check datafiles
    -Check tablespaces

    Any recommendations and advice are welcomed
    Thank you

    The lie takes the elevator, the truth takes the staircase but ends up catching up with the lie.
