Thank you Franklin.
The ARCH_DEST is obtained from within a Oracle database, but accidentally the database down when this happened. Could it be that it ran the command for all the directories ?
Also, if no .gz files are available, the the return code is non-zero. basically, i am trying to see if the deletion .gz is successful and if it fails, report it as an error.
Something like this
Delete_Archive() {
LogDest="select value from v\$parameter where name='standby_archive_dest';"
runSql "${LogDest}"
ARCH_DEST="${COUNT}"
cd ${ARCH_DEST}
echo `pwd`
#find ${ARCH_DEST}/*.gz -mtime +0 -exec rm -f {} \;
rm *.gz
RC2=$?
if [[ $RC2 != 0 ]]
then
Mail_Subject="Dataguard on host `hostname`. Delete archive logs older than 24 hrs failed. Please investigate (SEV-4)"
ls -ltr | ${ARCH_DEST} > "${ORACLE_BASE}/oralogs/DELETE_ARCHIVE.log"
Mail_User "$Mail_Subject" "${ORACLE_BASE}/oralogs/DELETE_ARCHIVE.log"
exit 1
fi
}
Can this be coded better ? Can i put a condition saying if the number of files deleted is 0, then it's not an error ?
Thanks

sysstat
SYSSTAT(5) Linux User's Manual SYSSTAT(5)
NAME
sysstat - sysstat configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
This file is read by sa1(8) and sa2(8) shell scripts from the sysstat's set of tools. It consists of a sequence of shell variable assign-
ments used to configure sysstat logging. The variables and their meanings are:
HISTORY
The number of days during which a daily data file or a report should be kept. Data files or reports older than this number of days
will be removed by the sa2(8) shell script.
COMPRESSAFTER
Number of days after which daily data files are to be compressed, either by gzip or bzip2.
SADC_OPTIONS
Options that should be passed to sadc(8). With these options (see sadc(8) manual page), you can select some additional data which
are going to be saved in daily data files. These options are used only when a new data file is created. They will be ignored with
an already existing one.
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/sysstat
