mv and compress on the fly
I want to move and compress a big export file.
Like mv file_exp /filesystem/file_exp |compress The file system is too small to compress and move with 2 steps. What is the best command for me. I'm running solaris.

compress -c filename > /directory/...filename.Z
rm filename if you are creating the compressed file on the same filesystem, you still will not have enough room. Just as you don't if you try a single step compress. Other alternatives are pack, gzip, and zip.
