What are these shrept.lst files, and are they can be safely removed?

Symptoms:

[oracle@vmxdb01 db_1]$ find $ORACLE_HOME -name '*shrept.lst'
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/xdk/admin/shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/network/admin/shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/rdbms/admin/shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/rdbms/admin/orasdkbase_shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/rdbms/admin/orasdk_shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/plsql/admin/shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/precomp/admin/shrept.lst
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/db_1/ldap/admin/shrept.lst

grep -v '#' $entryList | \
grep $product | \
awk '{ printf (" -u %s", $3); }'
}
