depends on the O/S you are using, Unix or Windows? I would use Korn shell script to monitor the Oracle background process and scripts to check of Oracle is accepting connections.

This UNIX command will show the number of processes for your instance:

ps -ef|grep
In Windows I would look into services.msc
- and Try command R3trans -d to check the status of Oracle and connectivity from SAP.
