You can use the find command to remove archived redo log files older
than x days.  The command runs in my hotbackup shell script every other
day and removes files older than 1 day.

find /disk04/oraarch/$ORACLE_SID/log*.arc -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \;

Hello Gurus,

Have some disk space issues, so looking for ways to cleanup.

Please confirm that my thinking is correct.
I run the command and example output below:-
SQL> archive log list
Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            C:\Oracle\oracle.....
Oldest online log sequence     2334
Next log sequence to archive   2338
Current log sequence           2338

I can write a script (Perl) to remove all archive files < 2334?

Much appreciate any input or confirmation.

Regards
