    Problem in export dump files

    Hi All,
    My DB is Oracle 8.1.7 on RH Linux 6.2. One of our drives on production system is running out of space. I got all the raw data files which we get from the different client systems on a weekly basis and export dump files are located on this drive. I want to compress the export dumps while the export is performing. Here is the actual script which i'm running on a daily basis. Can any one please help me in modifying this script so as to compress my dump files using gzip and again using split command as Linux is having a limitation on 2G per each file.
    my new script should be some thing like....

    exp .......|gzip|split........
    This Split command adds a unique identifier for each splitted file PREFIX. Lets say the Prefix is some thing like expdmp, then then compressed files created are exp


    I know what exactly this gzip and split does, but couldn't implement them in a shell. Can any one help me please.....

    SCRIPT:
    ==========

    export_dl.sh:
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6
    ORACLE_SID=cmsrpt1
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID
    /opt/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/exp / PARFILE=/u05/mytools/expimp/exportparam_dl

    exportparam_dl :

    LOG=/u05/mytools/logs/export_dl.log
    OWNER=dloader
    CONSISTENT=Y
    COMPRESS=N
    FILE=/u09/mytools/expimp/expdat1.dmp,
    ......................../expdat10.dmp
    FILESIZE=2G
    ====================================
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Try something like this:

    ------------ cut -----------------------
    # -- export_dl.sh:
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6
    ORACLE_SID=cmsrpt1
    OUT_FILE=/u09/mytools/expimp/expdat.dmp.gz
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID OUT_FILE
    #
    # Create a pipe for output of export
    #
    PEXP=/tmp/exp$$
    mknod $PEXP p
    chmod 777 $PEXP
    #
    # Start export
    #
    cat $PEXP|gzip -c |split -b 2000m ${OUT_FILE} &

    /opt/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/exp FILE=$PEXP \
    PARFILE=/u05/mytools/expimp/exportparam_dl
    #
    # End export
    #
    rm -f $PEXP
    exit
    ------------ cut -----------------------
    # -- exportparam_dl :
    LOG=/u05/mytools/logs/export_dl.log
    OWNER=dloader
    CONSISTENT=Y
    COMPRESS=N
    ------------ cut -----------------------
