[CentOS] Question about Shell Script.

Hi all CentOS users,

I have writing shell script for check oracle processes in real time and alert with e-mail.

I read script like below

NUMBEROFPRO=/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF1 |grep processes|awk '{print $2}' SELECT resource_name,current_utilization,limit_value FROM V$RESOURCE_LIMIT WHERE RESOURCE_NAME IN ('processes','sessions'); quit EOF1

if [ $NUMBEROFPRO > 150 ] then /bin/mail -s "Processes number bigger then 150 !!" myemailadres<<EOF Contact your system administrator. EOF fi

Script print value correctly on screen but NUMBEROFPRO have empty value in script.How can i take and print NUMBEROFPRO value from above query ?

Thanks for all.
