RE: RMAN backup all but delete n days old

I've never come across an easy way to do that exclusively with RMAN, but you can rely on an OS cronjob to handle that; just use RMAN for the backups and use the OS for the deletes... something like:

10 04 * * * find /u05/oradata/MyDB -name 1\*.log(or .dbf or whatever you tag your logs as) -mtime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;

Is there away in rman to backup all logs on disk, but delete n days old ones.
 The backup ... Logs ... Delete input does not allow to have separate criteria for backup vs. Delete.

Thanks
