Switching user to oracle to connect Oracle 11g DB with 'sysdba'

I need to connect my Oracle 11g DB from shell script with 'sysdba' permissions. To do this I have to switch user from 'root' to 'oracle'.
I've tried the following with no success.

Code:

  su - oracle -c "<< EOF1
        sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" << EOF2
        whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode;
        set echo off 
        set heading off
    
        shutdown immediate
        startup mount
        alter database archivelog;
        alter database open;
        
        exit;
        EOF2
    EOF1"

I'm getting the following error.

Code:

> [root@vEMS-23 devel]# ./enableArchiveLogs.sh en ERROR: ORA-01031:
> insufficient privileges
> 
> 
> SP2-0306: Invalid option. Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS
> {SYSDBA|SYSOPER|SYSASM}] where <logon>  ::=
> <username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] [edition=value] | /
> SP2-0306: Invalid option. Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS

> <username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] [edition=value] | /
> SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting
> SQL*Plus [root@vEMS-23 devel]#

As far as I may understand it fails to authenticate as 'sysdba'. It doesn't occurs if I eliminate 'su - oracle -c' and run script as an oracle user initially.

Any clues?
Thanks in advanced.

radsqlrelay

RADSQLRELAY(8)						     FreeRADIUS helper program						    RADSQLRELAY(8)

NAME

       radsqlrelay - relay SQL queries to a central database server

SYNOPSIS

       radsqlrelay [-?]  [-d sql_driver] [-b database] [-f file] [-h host] [-u user] [-P port] [-p password] [-1] [-x] file_path

DESCRIPTION

       radsqlrelay  tails a SQL logfile and forwards the queries to a database server. Used to replicate accounting records to one (central) data-
       base, even if the database has extended downtime.

       The SQL logfile is created by the rlm_sql_log module. The module must be configured in the radiusd server before you can use radsqlrelay.

OPTIONS

       -?     Print usage help information.

       -d sql_driver
	      Driver to use: mysql, pg, oracle.

       -b database
	      Name of the database to use.

       -f file
	      Read password from file, instead of command line.

       -h host
	      Connect to host.

       -u user
	      User for login.

       -P port
	      Port number to use for connection.

       -p password
	      Password to use when connecting to server.

       -1     One-shot mode: push the file to database and exit.

       -x     Turn on debugging.

       file_path
	      The pathname of the SQL logfile to use.

NOTES

   Oracle driver
       The command "radsqlrelay -d oracle -b db.domain.tld sql-relay" reads the database description stored in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora:

       db.domain.tld =
	 (DESCRIPTION =
	   (ADDRESS_LIST =
	     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db.domain.tld)(PORT = 1521))
	   )
	   (CONNECT_DATA =
	     (SERVICE_NAME = <DB SID>)
	   )
	 )
