The script is supposed to check the core dump directory and search for old core dump directories and remove them. The core dump directory is the argument provided when the script was invoked, i.e., ./remove_coredumps.pl /u01/oradump/cdump, /u01/oradump/cdump is the core dump directory to search. uri> but a simple answer is to just put a test inside the find sub so you uri> don't push a file if it matches what is passed in @ARGV. - Yep, this is the one that am thinking about ... just thought it will be "safer" to use File::Find::Rule as an exact match to strip off the argument before the array is processed in the for loop ... The script is to search the core dump directory but exclude that directory, kinda like doing a grep for ^/u01/oradump/cdump, /u01/oradump/cdump$/ and exclude that from the directory to remove.
