When I've used check_oracle, I use the --login option instead of -- 
tnsping. This simulates a login, and returns OK if it gets a "invalid  
login, incorrect username/password". This is a better check because  
it goes down the entire stack and grabs whatever errors are returned  
by Oracle (for instance, "shutdown in progress").

I assume the Instantclient will still work with check_oracle (as it  
just needs sqlplus).
