I used to do this on VMS, but under UNIX it doesn't look like SQL*Plus supports the /nolog parameter. Anyone else seen this?

I tried to use /nolog so I could put a 'whenever sqlerror exit' statement in the script, allowing my shell script to trap when my SQL scripts get errors, including invalid user and password. But I get inconsistent results.

Thanks,
Brian
