People i need to do a script something like depura. to eliminate the .trc, the traces of a data base, i know that you cand usea find end exec but i need somethoing diferent in the script can anybody gimme any ideas?

Thank you very mucha for your time.

Can you be a bit more specific on what "something different" means? Explain your requirements.

You are right, tell me what is in your mind to solve this problem. THank you

1) Is this about Oracle?
2) What is the name of the directory containing the ".trc" files ?
3) Which files do you want to keep ?

1) yes
2) name of the base / udump
3)15 days of history, for example today i erase all from Feb and leave march (15 march is today)

A general solution for you to adapt and test thoroughly before deleting anything.

find my_trace_directory -type f -name \*\.trc -mtime +15 -print | \
                while read trace_file
                do
                        # Remove echo when sure
                        echo rm "${trace_file}"
                done
