I'm running into 2 problems when working with my logs and the find command.
- I am having problems with the mtime option. The 1st command below shows me a few files from March 5th till March 7th, like I believe it should. However, when I add +1 to mtime instead of +0, it only does an ls of the current directory I'm in when running the command. It's just listening my directories under /home/user/. Not sure why +1 is breaking it.
sudo find /logs/ -type f -name '*.log' -mtime +0 | xargs ls -l
- The second issue I'm running into is I want to find all logs that are older than 1 day and zip them up individually. So if my find command finds 1-1-13.log, 1-2-13.log, and 1-3-13.log, I want each one to be turned into log.gz. I tried this by doing the following command but it isn't working. I assume I may have to do a small bash script for this but was hoping to do it by one quick command.
sudo find /logs/ -type f -name '*.log' -mtime +0 | xargs gzip -9 *
Most of the examples I've seen involve zipping all files into 1 archive but I want each one individual and I want them to stay in the same location where it found them.
Thanks in advance.
ls -l /logs/
