core file deletion script problem
619823Aug 4 2009 — edited Aug 11 2009hi all .. i wrote a script to delete core files from directory /u01, automatically when it id filled more than 65 %. To test it i have set the crontab to every one minute. Its not executing. please have a look on following and tell me where i am committing mistake?
-bash-3.00$ df -ah
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d4 28G 22G 5.7G 80% /u01
-bash-3.00$ crontab -l
01 * * * * . /export/home/oracle/remove_core.sh
-bash-3.00$ more remove_core.sh
cd /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/grid3/grid31/cdump
a='df -h .|grep %|cut -c55-56'
if $a -gt 65 this is properly enclosed in square brackets
then
rm -rf *;
touch kashif.txt
fi
-bash-3.00$ crontab -e remove_core.sh
crontab: you are not a valid user (no entry in /etc/passwd).i did this all using root as well but in vein
thanks in advance
