    what about ...

            find /archivefiles -type f -mtime +2 ! -name "*.Z" -print

    Assuming you're using 'compress' ... change to *.gz for gzip, etc.

    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?????????
