Hi All,

I am trying to delete older files through the shell script and i am trying the below command which is not working. Pls advise

Code:

 
/usr/bin/find /ora/b1/fast_recovery_area/`echo "$ORACLE_SID" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'`/backupset/ -type f -mtime +3 -exec /bin/rm {} \ ;

"not working" isn't a technical analysis of the problem:
- instead of using 'rm' use 'echo'. Then show us the result.
- note find these days has "-delete" itself.
