I know find is able to do this (find files based on date, and then send them to gzip). Sorry, I don't know the exact commands, check the man page, but something like this:
touch -t 04200000 datefile ; gzip `find /whatever -newer datefile` ; rm -f datefile should gzip all files that were modified after 4/20 at 0:00 (04200000) On Sun, Apr 30, 2000 at 12:31:56PM -0500, Lance Hoffmeyer wrote: > I wish to gzip a numbe of files based on the date they were created. > I assume I would use ls and gzip.
