The following should give you a head start:
Create the following file i.e. scott_export.sh
#!/bin/bash
MAILADR="[email protected]"
EXPDIR="/home/oracle/datapump"
EXPDIR4SQL="'$EXPDIR'"
DUMPFILE="export_`date +%N`.dmp"
LOGFILE="export_`date +%N`.log"
ORACLE_SID=test; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin; export PATH
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
mkdir -p $EXPIDR 2>/dev/null
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
set pages 0 feed off
create or replace directory datapump as $EXPDIR4SQL;
grant read, write on directory datapump to scott;
exit
EOF
expdp scott/tiger tables=EMP,DEPT \
      transport_full_check=y \
      directory=datapump dumpfile=$DUMPFILE logfile=$LOGFILE
gzip $EXPDIR/$DUMPFILE >> $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE
cat $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE | mailx -s "$LOGFILE" $MAILADR
# ENDGive execute privileges:
$ chmod 750 scott_export.sh
The above script should also work as a cron job.
