In this post I'll share with you one of my scripts I'm using to backup and cleanup Oracle logs associated with a specific database on the Oracle server.
This script has been tested on Linux & SUN environments.
You can download the script from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eytsv5duxe95lrh/oracle_cleanup.sh?dl=0
Once you run it, it will ask you to select a database (in case that you have multiple running databases on the server), then will ask you the location you want to backup the logs, then it will start to clean up all logs under udump, bdump, cdump folder plus the audit logs and also will cleanup the logs of the listener associated with the selected database.
Note: This script will backup and delete all logs and will keep the logs of the last 5 days only.
Note: it's recommended to test this script on a test environment before you run it on production ones.
