To incorporate a group of adrci commands into a script, simplycreate a file with all the adrci commands you want to execute, and then execute the script atthe adrci prompt.To use adrci commands in a shell script or a Windows batch file, you simply invoke adrciusing the command-line parameter exec to which you pass the adrci commands you want toexecute. That is, you must use the following syntax in your batch file when invoking adrci:adrci exec="command[; command]..."For example, if you want to use the two adrci commands show homes and show incident ina script, use the following syntax:adrci exec="show homes; show incident"Note that each of the commands must be separated by a semicolon (;). Here’s an exampleshowing how to use the ADR command-line interface to do the equivalent of the usual vialert$ORACLE_SID.log command, which lets you read the alert log in a text editor:adrci exec="set homepath diag/rdbms/orcl/orcl1; set editor vi; show alert -V"Alternatively, you can pipe adrci commands to a shell script, as shown in the followingscript example, which lets you see all the alert log entries that contain the word ORA-, whichindicates an Oracle-related error:adrci show baseADR base is "/u01/app/oracle"adrci>
