Hi,
thanks for your support
problem resolved there was one cronjob which was sechedule for running every min couldnot able execute , the scripts contains wrong path for the file due to that cronjob was sending mail to oraprod user for everyminute thats the way the file growth was happening.

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
