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
