Egrep: conflicting matchers specified

This bit of code works fine:


Code:
egrep -i '^rmcat' /etc/oratab |\
  awk -F\: '{print $1}'|\
while read ORACLE_SID
do



But when I modified it, thus:


Code:
egrep -v '^#' /etc/oratab |egrep -v '^$' | egrep -v '^listener' \
  awk -F\: '{print $1}'|\
while read ORACLE_SID
do



It produces the error


Code:
egrep: conflicting matchers specified

Hi, a pipe appears to be missing:
Code:
egrep -v '^listener' |\

Missing pipe was it. I figured it would be something simple where I just needed another set of eyes. Thanks.

You can consolidate
Code:
egrep -v '^#' /etc/oratab | egrep -v '^$'

into
Code:
egrep '^[^#]' /etc/oratab

And the whole thing into awk
Code:
awk -F: '/^[^#]/ && !/^listener/ {print $1}' /etc/oratab |
while read ORACLE_SID
do

Or into the shell
Code:
while IFS=":" read ORACLE_SID junk
do
  case $ORACLE_SID in
  ""|"#"*|listener*) continue ;;
  esac
  ...
done < /etc/oratab
