So far, I don't have to look after any Oracle servers.  If I did, maybe I'd
use check_oracle like you.  But somebody submitted a patch and I spotted an
obvious problem with it once it became clear that grep needed a $ to
prevent false reports. 

Regexes are better than pinball.  Regexes are even better than sex.  OK,
I lied - NOTHING beats pinball. But regexes come a close second.  :)
