Assuming the *.arc files are getting generated under every
5 minutes..
Create script.sh and cut paste the following contents
--------------------------
while true
do
for i in `ls *.arc` ;
do
ls *.arc 2> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
gzip $i
else
echo "No files to be zipped at this moment...Exiting"
exit 1
done
sleep 300
done
--------------------------
Hope this helps
