You can try this:
host (printf 'define myvar = '; pwd) > /tmp/a.sql
@/tmp/a.sql

Subject: Use of host command from scripted SQL
Hello,
I was playing around with SQL*Plus and found that I could include the
host command in my scripts, being a UN*X person I styarted trying to get
the result of some simple commands (pwd, ls, grep, etc) back into SQL,
but got no joy.
What I'm trying to do is something like:
DEFINE my_var = HOST pwd;
Or
SELECT (HOST pwd) FROM dual;
Or somesuch... Is there a way to do this?
Thnks,
David.
