CPU & Memory gzip the files with particular extension
Is there any way to compress only the files with .xml extension within a folder which in turn has many sub folders?

gzip -r9 path/name/*.xml is not working

This compression is done in the Windows server using Batch script.

With POSIX-compliant versions of find (the default on most systems now), you can avoid calling gzip for every file and have as many arguments as possible for each call:

Code:
find /path/name/ -name *.xml -exec gzip -r9 {} +
