Sometimes, you can impose a different time zone on the session, else subtract 4 hours from time using oracle time arithmetic.

Quoted quotes seems overkill, but if it works, great! I prefer to generate the input stream to one sqlplus command, with all the commands, "echo '... everything' | sqlplus ...." to save on connect fork exec overhead, and if there is any transactioning, you need to stay in one session. DB2 has a shadow process holding one session, so you can use this ugly, counterintuitive pragma, but as I recall every sqlplus is a new session. If you echo double quoted big string, you can use single on strings, just watch out for shell meta. I prefer to echo in single quotes, where little happens, and use '"'"' for each literal single quote. I am not sure if it is cheaper than <<, but << is very open to meta-shell expansion. Throw in lots of line feeds for beautification, and indentation if necessary. Do 'select scriptname from dual' or something before each script.

Use a wrapper script name in cron. Immediately wrap everything in "() >>log_file 2>&1" so everything is logged outside cron, and use date to put out time stamped run header+trailer messages.
Code:
date "+
========================================
%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S Start and End $$ ${0##*/} $* Be nice enough to say Fatal Error or Successful Finish
========================================"
