cleanuptrace

Assuming that those trace files all end in ".trc":

find /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1/rdbms/log -name "*.trc" -mtime +10 | xargs rm

Note "+10" means "10 days old or older". I think that's what you wanted to say.

Some errors

find /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1/rdbms/log -name "*.trc" -mtime +10 | xargs rm
rm: missing operand
Try `rm --help' for more information.

This should only happen when no results are found. In this case use the "-r" flag to make "xargs" silently exit without calling "rm".

Which is your OS (-Release), which is your shell?

You could also try this:

find /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1/rdbms/log -name "*.trc" -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;

Please note the backslash in front of the semicolon, it's important!
