Re: How to zip a file on From Unix shell script

RWB is correct - and the good news is that WinZip (a likely program at the destination of your email) handles tar-ed and compress-ed files fine. Of course it may pay to add the .zip extension to the filename so that the mail client knows what to do with it.

You can use compress or gzip to compress a file. compress -v [filename] should compress the file and tell you the percentage as well. Gzip is a GNU utility that may be on your system. These utilities may not be in your current path.

Hello, list:

We have a unix nightly job which will send an email to a user. However, the file size is very large, so we need to zip the file before we send it out. Does anyone know the syntax or command of zipping a file from UNIX ?

Regards,
