Most case we come across Arch space full. In multiple if Database and multiple folders on same mount point, getting in to each folder and zipping is time consuming. Find the find command, very helpful in this case.
find <Mount Point> -name <filename.extension> -exec <operaton>;
Few examples.
find /mounts/arch/* -name “*.arc” –exec /user/bin/gzip {} \;
Above script will find all .arc files in the specified mount files and zip all the files.
find /mounts/arch/* -name “*.arc” –mtime +7 –exec /user/bin/gzip {} \;
This scrip will find the find and zip .arc files older than 7 days.
find /mount/arch/* -name “*.arc” –mtime +7 –exec rm {} \;
This scrip will find the find and removes .arc files older than 7 days
Hence can modified .. the way we want........ depending the context.....
