That is definitely better. Let me add this
1) find /archivefiles -type f -mtime +2 ! -name "*.Z" -exec compress '{}'
\;
That will go ahead and compress any files it finds so you don't have to run
two commands.
You can add exclusions to the above find if you have other restrictions or
other types of compressed/zipped files.
2) Why worry about compressing (or gzipping) an already compressed file.
It will just tell you it is already compressed and then will skip it.

what about ...
find /archivefiles -type f -mtime +2 ! -name "*.Z" -print
Assuming you're using 'compress' ... change to *.gz for gzip, etc.

Subject: find command tweak
I'm trying to figure out a slick find and or ls command variation to do
the following:
I want to compress all files in "/archivefiles" with the following
requirements:
-files not already compressed
-do not compress files modified in the last two days
I was thinking something along the lines of:
find . -type f -mtime -2 -print > /archivefiles/do_not_compress_these.out
ls -lart|grep arch|grep -v Z|awk '{print $9}' >
/archivefiles/all_files_list.out
diff do_not_compress_these.out all_files_list.out >
actual_files_to_compress.out
Am I making this too hard?????????
