Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : gzip a domain access log

[HD Fanatic]

I typed:

gzip -c mydomain.com

then all this jibberish comes up on ssh, how long should it take to gzip a 2.5G file?

[sehe]

you likely want to do

gzip -c mydomain.com > mydomain.com.gz

you need to specify an output, else its your terminal (stdout)
for more info "man gzip"

ahhh, no wonder gzip hangs. thanks a lot

You can download & install rar for Linux if you are familiar with rar sintax. It's a trivial installation, only extract the file from rarlabs.com
