Find all log files under all file systems older than 2 days and zip them

Thanks all,

I got it set at the root level. Works fine for me.
The situation was a little typical as this is a system where too many users log in and create log files and they all belong to different groups so coming down to one single group was a pain however that suggestion was helpful as it made me understand what I cannot do for sure in my current scenario.

Thanks a lot for the help guys. Smilie
