Within script how do I skip archived log file that is being written by
oracle?
-----------------------------------------------------
I took another look at this and figured out what you were really asking.
The commands: "ls -1rt" or "ls -1t" will list the files in the directory and
sort according to time. Note that the "1" is a one. This will allow you to
see the most recent files. If you would like to keep the two most recent
then something like:
#!/bin/ksh
COUNT=0
for i in `ls -1t *.dbf`; do
COUNT=$(( $COUNT + 1 ))
if [ $COUNT -gt 2 ]; then
SEND $i TO TAPE
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
print "SOMETHING BROKE"
else
rm $i
(or maybe safer to move it to a pre-delete filesystem, then delete
it later)
fi
fi
done
