Hi all,

I'm running Oracle DB9i on Linux AS4.0, using archive log mode. So If I dont remove archived log files manually, server HDDs will be full after weeks.
And now I try to fingure out "how to delete files by created date" to manage archived log files.
Any help will be highly appriciate!

Use
RMAN> backup archivelog ...your options..
or
write a unix script that will use
'find' with mtime or atime.
schedule the script to run everday.

Search the forum for more examples.

Thanks very much Mahesh Rajendran, but I still miss the answer because I'm not good at Linux command at all. I can find those files with "find -mtime", but dont know how to remove them. So can you please provide an simple example.
Thanks in advance

I asked
>>Search the forum for more examples.
Did you even try that?

find <path> -type f -name "*.ext" -mtime +<your_retention> -exec rm {} \;


PS: above is untested code.
