Hi All,

I want to be able to find from a directory, all files that do NOT have
a ".gz" file extension and also are more than 1 day old.

The idea is to zip the resultant files.


Thanks in Advance

find . -name "*.gz" -ctime -1

-ctime option is for last file status change time. You can use -mtime
option for last modified time and -atime for the last accessed time
