This begs the question of why one would be bothering to invoke SQL*PLUS for O/S file copy operations; I am presuming this is because it might be something like copying old log files to somewhere else so they're not overwritten, etc?

Which is quite a good idea that a lot of people forget; or even just a brutal

spool off
!rm booga.log
spool booga.log

to avoid the nightmare of neverending spool files.
