Sami, You need to set your Oracle Home inside your shell script before you run SqlPlus. Cron runs as a syetm user, not as your local Oracle user - the user you log in with.
You could simple add . $HOME/.profile right before your sqlplus statement, or set your ORACLE_HOME environmental. Type ENV at the comand line to see what the Oracle environmental variables are set to. Godd Luck!
