How can I set my script to only keep one copy of a dump file? On Linux, I have the following line in the script (which is run nightly by cron). Yet I always seem to end up with 2 days worth of dmp files which are using up too much space. I only want for there to be one copy that stays on the server.
find $DMPDIR -name "*" -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;
Rest of script that follows that line:
DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
gzip < $EXPPIPE > $DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full.dmp.${DT}.gz &
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp system/$exppass full=y file=$EXPPIPE
log=$DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log consistent=y compress=y
#Check log for errors below
cd $DMPDIR
grep -c "EXP-" ${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log > /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo "failed export" | mail -s "export of $ORACLE_SID FAILED CHECK LOG FOR
DETAILS" `cat $MAIL/dba`
exit 1 fi exit _________________________________________________________________Don't get caught with egg on your face. Play Chicktionary! http://club.live.com/chicktionary.aspx?icid=chick_hotmailtextlink2
