Help with GZIP
Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement to zip a file using gzip and ftp it to target server.

I am using a gzip script as below.
Code:
gzip.sh
#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/gzip -9 $1

Filename for gzip.sh is passed by an application program.

so the output for ./gzip.sh Test_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt (file name is dynamic ) is Test_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt.gz

but requiremnt is that file to be sent is Test_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.gz not Test_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt.gz

Can you please help me to acomplish this.

Thanks,
Varma

gzforce

GZFORCE(1)						      General Commands Manual							GZFORCE(1)

NAME

       gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS

       gzforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       gzforce	forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice.  This can be useful for files with names trun-
       cated after a file transfer.  On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for  the  .gz
       suffix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact.
