Look, first of all, we're talking about "cron" jobs, alright ! ...
Look, the tasks that you need to perform could be done inside a script, so you prepare a script with the tasks that you want and just set up the cron to execute them every hour, in this case .
1- Access your crontab with the following command
# crontab -e
(it is an empty file, you have to edit here what you need, the editor could be "vi")
2- Then add the following line.
0 * * * * /{path to your script}
---The 0 * * * * represents hourly, so the script will be processed every hour.
NOW, regarding the other points, look.
1- the mail!!!, use mailx ... I will show you how to do it soon
2- use find to "find" the large files, first, you have to define what is large for you.
eg. Find files greater then 5 megs (in bytes)
# find / -size +5000000c -exec ls -ltr {} \; --> this will show you the files, you have to refine this part to make it work with the file sizes that you really want.
OK... I will try to recreate what you are looking for.
Find the large files and compress them, let's say, files greater than 1GB ---- be carefull with this, you don't want to this with the OS files, etc.
--- to see them
you can send this file to your email like this.
If the file is ok, you can run a little script to read all that file, line per line, compress the files, then remove the files.
