Experts, I need to run cron job under AIX to take backup using RMAN script in a automated way. After calling shell script from cron job, getting error sqlplus not found. Surfeign web found, I need to set oracle environment before calling sqlplus. And the variables are

ORACLE_HOME=
ORACLE_SID=singerdb
ORACLE_TERM=
PATH=
TWO_TASK=
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM PATH TWO_TASK

But I don't know how to get the values of these variables. Using 'grep | env' oracle I found

LOGIN=oracle
PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/oracle/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin:.

Howdy, Stranger!
