Purging ADR log and trace files automatically

The following script was put together by a colleague, David Sutton, and shows a way to create a script to tidy up the logs and trace files generated in 11G. Note that the purge time is in seconds and this keep s 30 days online. This is probably too many on some of our systems and this is likely to be reduced to 14 days although we will keep incident history for longer

This is called each day from cron (or it could be run from dbms_scheduler, either directly or via an OEM job)
