useful oracle checks

[Hari Sekhon]

I just "check_oracle --login dbname"since this tells me if the server is 
reachable, if the login prompt is given correctly and if there are any 
problems, they are raised with the ORA-xxxx error message so at all time 
I know what the exact condition or error of the database is.
