I'm not familiar with login.sql, can you elaborate?

I went one step further and just spooled select sysdate from dual to a new file

something more informative to report.

thanks for the assistance!

Any other set commands in the sql file
Cant see why they may interfere with spool

Can you comment out the 2 files and just run select sysdate from dual and see 
what output you get on screen
Can you also check if sqlplus is pointing to OH/bin/sqlplus or something else

No spool commands in the individual files.

Subject: spool creating empty file

I am executing a file from within sqlplus that looks as follows:

spool output.log
set timing on
set time on
@/tmp/myfile.sql
@/tmp/myfile2.sql
spool off

The output.log file is being created, but it does not have any contents.  As 
sqlplus is running myfile.sql and myfile2.sql, I can see the output that it is 
generating on the screen, but the same output is not being written to the spool 
file.  I know that this same method has worked before, but if someone could 
point me in a direction to look for what could potentially be the problem that 
would be great.

Thanks.
