Hello fellow monks.
I am using bellow code to check for sqlplus connectivity. 

my $ConnString = "SQLPLUS -L " . $Login_Name . "\/" . $Login_Password 
+. "\@" . $DB_Name . " \@sqlfile.sql";
  my $ReturnCode=system($ConnString);
  sleep(2);    #--Give time to autheticate.
  if ($ReturnCode!=0)
  {
    print scalar (localtime),"  E: SqlPlus Database Login unsuccessful
+l.\n";
    return -1;
  }
  print LOG_FILE scalar (localtime),"  I: SqlPlus Database Login succe
+ssfull.\n";

Here 'sqlfile.sql' contains only 'exit' statement in it.

Some times in the execution it takes more than 2 seconds to complete because of network traffic.
So including sleep(2); will be not enough some times. I want to make sleep time of my script dynamic.

Thanks in advance.
