Hello All, I have a script, which cleans up the archive log destination by moving the old archive logs to a retention area based on the thresholds 1. Percent of space utilization 2. greater than 2 days old.
The script was working fine , except for the reason , sometimes we see multiple copies of the same. So I have added the following to code just to stop multiple copies. But now the script is not running at all and we did see more than 90% space utilization archive log destination. Here is the added code: #################################################### # Exit If Already Running #################################################### function ExitIfAlreadyRunning { copies=`ps -ef | grep OraProcessArch | grep "$SID_NAME" | grep -v grep | wc -l` if [ $copies -gt 2 ] then echo $(date)" Number Of Copies Running : $copies" exit 0 else return 0 fi } Any suggestions ??? I am not so good in using semaphores and all , looking for a simple solution if possible ..
