May not be elegant but it does the job.

# Find all new archive logs compared to last time script ran. Copy to backup directory

/usr/bin/find $ARCDIR/*.arc -newer $ARCDIR/timetest.txt -exec cp {}
$BACKUPDIR \; # Delete the timetest file so that a new one can be created for new timestamp.

/usr/bin/rm $ARCDIR/timetest.txt

/usr/bin/touch $ARCDIR/timetest.txt

# Gzip copied archive logs
/usr/bin/gzip $BACKUPDIR/*.arc

		Hi,

		 

		Sorry for the slightly non-Oracle post.

		 

		I am after a UNIX code snippet that will help me copy

archive logs to another directory BUT not if they already exist. So if only 2 archive logs are generated between script runs only the two new ones should copy. I know I can do this using sysdate - "time interval" but I am trying to avoid that.

Thanks in advance,

Sujatha Madan.
