Delete old .trc, .trm, .aud files older than X days +

Hi Folks,

Some time we need to delete old logs. And at the same time we want to keep files for last 2-3 days. Use below command at linux box.

For example, if  you want to clear audit logs, please use below command.

find /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/rdbms/audit/ -mindepth 1 -type f -mtime +2 | xargs rm

Here :

"/u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/rdbms/audit/ "  is directory where find command will look
"-mtime + 2"    is the current date - 2 days.
