Creo que la marioneta detecta el éxito de la secuencia de comandos en función del código de retorno del programa llamado. De forma predeterminada, sqlplus devuelve 0 cuando lo cierra, independientemente de lo que se haya ejecutado durante la sesión.
[[email protected] ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Si desea que sqlplus salga con un estado de error, puede usar el comando siempre que, por ejemplo,
[[email protected] ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Observe el código de retorno diferente en el último caso. Esto debería ser suficiente para que la marioneta sepa que el comando falló.
