Welcome to this forum.

Please read and follow the forum guidelines, to enable us to help you:

http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/ and read http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/174502/

It appears that you only know a little about both *NIX & Oracle and neither to any level competency.
In any *NIX, ORACLE_HOME must be all UPPERCASE in order for it to be recognized & used.
Line like below are NOT valid sqlplus commands.
>i=1
>while $i<5 do;

The posted script lacks the needed
EOF
line to terminate the "here script"

@tnsname is not required when you are logged onto the DB Server itself.

you could have a plain text file, sql1to5.sql that contains lines below

@/home/scripts/file1.sql
@/home/scripts/file2.sql
@/home/scripts/file3.sql
@/home/scripts/file4.sql
@/home/scripts/file5.sql
exit

then do as below
sqlplus username/password @sql1to5.sql
