zipping up recently modified files 1

[nogs]

Can any one help me?
I have identified all files in a dir created today;
find . -atime -1 -print
What I would now like to do is zip all the files up

 

[KarveR]

Zip them together or independantly?
Ie lots of .gz's or one big phat .gz file ***************************************
Party on, dudes!

One big fat gzip file would be suffice, ie;
if files were modified today then gzip them all together in a file called avirus.zip (or some thing like that!!)

Thanks for your help in advance

1) make sure you have gtar on your system
(cd /
find . -name gtar)
Shove all relevent files into a folder and do the following:

/path/to/gtar -zcvf avirus.tgz todaysfilesfolder

to undo it at the other end
/path/to/gtar -zxvf avirus.tgz

gtar is a single file so just cpoy it to any other machines and make it executable.
