RE: newbie sqlplus ?

Do the following at the command line:
echo $PATH

Then look to see if your ORACLE_HOME/bin is in the path.

If not, you need to put that in your path. and just to make sure that it is being found, do:
which sqlplus

This should return the path to sqlplus. If it cannot find it, you will get a message like:
no sqlplus found in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin ......... and so on.

Whenever you issue a command, UNIX looks for it in the path that is specified.  If it finds it, it will execute it, and if not, you will get that command not found error.
