Ah gotcha.. yeah oracle logs can be a big bitch.. I used to have the servers set up to page me (yeah, actual pager) back when I ran the labs at UD for various performance issues. I had the servers and the firewalls doing a round robin checks on each other just in case one actually crashed in which case I would get an page also. The shady part was that I also had cron jobs set to page me at certain times during my classes so if I was bored, I had an excuse to leave class without re-percussions. Since I worked for the engineering dept, they knew I had to go when the pager went off.
