check_oracle tip

[Voon, Ton]

check_oracle tries to get the oracle home from the oratab (/etc/oratab or
/var/opt/oracle/oratab), based on the SID specified. You can also add a *
entry into the oratab and it will then use the ORACLE_HOME specified there.

Some people amend the check_oracle script to include the oracle environment
stuff. I wouldn't recommend that because an upgrade of check_oracle will
overwrite this and it seems that Oracle want you to use . oratab to source
your site specific stuff anyway.
