Infrastructure Software

Hi

Our company currently runs the databases on RAC (Oracle 11gR2). We generally take the backup of SCHEMAS everyday using the datapump. My issues here is I am unable to delete the dump files older that 3 days using the below script

00 14 * * * find /nbds2/orabkp/*.dmp.gz -mtime +3 -exec rm -f {} \;

but I am able to delete the files using the below command

rm -f abcb.dmp.gz . I verified the file permissions etc on the dump file that is generated everything looks fine.

Even I tried using the below script

#################cut here - rmdumpfiles #############
#!/bin/bash

echo "starting at `date`"
for i in `find /nbds2/orabkp -mtime +3 -name "*.dmp.gz" `
do
echo "deleting $i "
rm -f $i
done
echo "done at `date` "

#################################################
chmod 750 rmdumpfiles

Crontab entry:
00 14 * * * /home/oracle/rmdumpfiles >> /home/oracle/rmdump.log

But the files didn't get deleted and below is the information I got from the log file

"starting at Mon Feb 18 17:59:01 PST 2013
done at Mon Feb 18 17:59:01 PST 2013"

Can someone help me please

Thank you

Karren
