Remove the -mtime option and delete the file if it exists

The downside is that if the export fails you have no previous version

The other option would be to do a ls for compressed dumpfiles and rename them and then delete those after the export has worked

Subject: How keep only one copy .dmp?

How can I set my script to only keep one copy of a dump file?  On Linux, I
have the following line in the script (which is run nightly by cron).  Yet
I always seem to end up with 2 days worth of dmp files which are using up
too much space. I only want for there to be one copy that stays on the
server.

find $DMPDIR -name "*" -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;



Rest of script that follows that line:

DT=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`

gzip < $EXPPIPE > $DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full.dmp.${DT}.gz &

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp system/$exppass full=y file=$EXPPIPE
log=$DMPDIR/${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log consistent=y compress=y

#Check log for errors below
cd $DMPDIR
grep -c "EXP-" ${ORACLE_SID}_full_1db_exp_${DT}.log > /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo "failed export" | mail -s "export of $ORACLE_SID FAILED CHECK LOG FOR
DETAILS" `cat $MAIL/dba`

exit 1
fi
exit
