2 exec in find
Guys,

I want to find the log files greather than 23 days and i want to perform 2 things here.

one is to list the files and second is to gzip the files. hope this can be done using sh -c option. but not sure the exact command.

Code:
 
find . -name "*.log" -mtime +23 -exec ls -la {} \;

Could you please help me on this?

Thanks,
