Could you do a one-time or infrequent scan of the server and create your own soft link? e.g. /usr/local/bin/sqlplus You could then point your scripts to this only.

For the scan, try running each sqlplus you find with the -v flag or perhaps run this to hopefully load and quite without trying to connect to a database:-
Code:
sqlplus -v </dev/null

... or ...
Code:
sqlplus -v <<-EOSQL
quit
EOSQL



Does that help?
