write a script which will work in such a fashion when ever your log reaches to your threshold It will transfer the alert log file into another zipped file and your main log directory will be emptied and remain intact.
As by default whenever oracle won't find alert .log ,It creates another new one and keep on writing alert logs over there

Hi all,

Please suggest a mechanism by which we can purge the contents of alert log

Thanks.
