SQL*Plus in Windows handles '/' in directory specifications just fine, so
all you need to worry about is the "c:" or "/usr" part.  You could test for
the existence of the script file and use the first one you find.

:
if [ -f /usr/mydir/test.sql ]; then
   sqlplus scott/tiger @/usr/mydir/test.sql
# Put this after any UNIX possibilities since they may
#    not be able to handle c:
elif [ -f c:/mydir/test.sql ]; then
   sqlplus scott/tiger @c:/mydir/test.sql
else
   echo "Can't find .../mydir/test.sql"
   exit 1
fi
