I have to keep the latest 5 files at any time, my problem is that log files are generated based on today date folder eg:
2009_03_20, 2009_03_21, 2009_03_22 etc. and
a log file is generate at 30 time interval gap or may generate 2 files per minute depends upon db activity.

how to keep only latest 5 files and remove rest of the files
my script looks like this in linux env.

Please put code inside [code] tags.

Code:
#! bin/bash
ORACLE_SID="$1"
limit=$2

export $ORACLE_SID
fdir=/tmp/log
export $fdir


Why are you trying to export these variables? I see nothing in the script that would require it.

If you did need it, those commands would not export the variables.

Code:
export ORACLE_SID fdir ## no $

Quote:
Code:
export ORACLE_HOME=`grep $ORACLE_SID: /etc/oratab |awk -F: '{print $2}'`
sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" <<EOF >$fdir/fravalue
@$fdir/arclg_db.sql
EOF

fradest=`cat $fdir/fravalue |awk '{print $1}'`
spaceused=`cat $fdir/fravalue |awk '{print $2}'`


You don't need awk and even if you did, you would certainly not need cat.

Code:
read fradest spaceused < $fdir/fravalue

Quote:
Code:
if [ $spaceused -gt $limit ]; then
  echo "time to delete archivelogs to free up space"
  find $fradest/$ORACLE_SID/archivelog -type f -maxdepth 2 -printf "%T@\t%p\n"|
     sort -k1,1n |
      cut -f2- |
       sed '$d' |
        rm -rf


You haven't supplied any filenames to rm; rm does not read from the standard input. Perhaps you meant:

Code:
xargs rm -rf

Quote:
Code:
 else
     echo "Not required to delete logs.. lots of space"
 fi
