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 ..

Thanks in advance,
Madhu
