-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 513 Jul 28 08:27 change_pass.sql
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 188416 Jul 30 11:37 testnetlink.dmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1477 Jul 30 11:37 impi_temp.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1433 Jul 30 12:58 impi1_temp.log
Requirement :
Now I want to remove the files that are older than 30 days and at same time I want keep a log of the files that are being deleted.
### Script starts here ###
#!/usr/bin/ksh
cd /u01/app/oracle/dpump; ## location where I want to cleanup the log files
echo " we are now in : `pwd`"
for FILE in `find /u01/app/oracle/dpump/*.log -mtime +30`
do echo $FILE
rm -f $FILE ##2>/dev/null # Gets rid of directory or permission errors
done 2>&1 1> /u01/app/oracle/dpump/log.txt
