Yes,minimum is 5 and max 8 files. Smilie actually we need 20 days log files to be unzipped from the current date e.g. today the date is 28 feb we need a log files upto 08 feb. we can zip the rest of the previous files.

Please, please, please give a list of criteria based on what files should be compressed, and which shouldn't, based on a general case, not on how the filesystem looks now. So far we have:
  • Files should be older than 10/20 days (which one is it now?)
  • At least 5, and up to 8 files should be compressed. How is this decided?

OK here is the final req. If I run your script first time marking 4 red files alone should compress it. next time next 4 files marked in blue similarly goes on make sure current date log file -10 days back log file should not compress its marked in bold
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root        46 2011-01-25 20:24 ab_xxxxxx.log.log.201101252024.gz

For help, type: gzip -h

Because there is no files need be gzipped, after you run the command second times, you need test it the next day. Smilie

If you run gzip without any option or files, you will get this error:

Code:
$ gzip
gzip: compressed data not written to a terminal. Use -f to force compression.
For help, type: gzip -h
