No, it's not a timeout. It's only a "custom" exit code, you can use whatever you want. Now I don't remember the detail, but the only important thing is to use an exit status (for a successful connection) different from 0, because sometimes sqlplus exits with 0 also when the connection is not possible due to an incorrect connect string or database down.
The code you writed is incorrect and it doesn't work. You should try this:
Notice that I've redirected the output to a log file instead of "/dev/null", otherwise you can't track the output of the sql script (you will only get the message error/estabilished at the end).
If you want more details you can remove the silent option (-s). If you don't want to see anything except the final message, change the LOGFILE variable to "/dev/null".
You can also perform two sqlplus connection: the first executes my original script for testing if Oracle is available and then (only if the db is up) a second connection will execute the sql script.
