i want create cronjob compress account in main_dir move them sec_dir

thx

you can use below command compression

change directory main_dir

cd main_dir

tar -cvzf fullpathto/sec_dir/account1.tar.gz account1

or

for in ls fullpath-of-main_dir; nice -n 19 /bin/tar -cvzf fullpath-of-sec_dir/$i.tar.gz fullpath-of-main_dir/$i; done

ls dir in ' ' commas. mean use ' in starting , in last ls fullpath-of-main_dir
