Unix script for checking the user account status

Question

Hi All,
i have created one unix script to check the status of the user in diff databases.
#!/bin/ksh
useracctreport.txt if [ ! -f hh ];
then
echo "Database file does not exist"
fi
echo "Enter Username"
read USER
echo "Enter the password"
stty -echo
read PASS
stty echo
for j in `cat users`
do
j="`echo $j| tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`"
for i in `cat hh`
do
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txt
column USERNAME format a8
column ACCOUNT_STATUS format a5
!echo "*****User $j Status in $i DB*****"
select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users where username=('$j');
select OBJECT_TYPE,count(*) from dba_objects where owner='$j' group by object_type;
EOF
done
done
In log file ,i get the below error when its unable to connect to the DB.
SP2-0306: Invalid option.
Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}] | [INTERNAL]
where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | /
SP2-0306: Invalid option.

SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Is there any way i can supress this error?
and is there any other way i can make this script faster.Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
The failing line is
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtYou should test the connect statement you provide to sqlplus. For example:
CONSTRING=$USER/$PASS\@$i
echo Connect string used: $CONSTRING
sqlplus -s $CONSTRING <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtCheck the echoed value. It's malformed. Correct it appropriately.
