gzip logfile.log.yyyymmdd, as there will be existing logs in the dir called
logfile.log, which will be live, and I don't wan't to zip that?
I read something different in this query than everyone else.

I'll put in my vote for a small script. There is certainly a one-line
version of this script which I am not sufficiently knowledgeable (nor
inclined) to produce.

Something like this pseudo-code:

now=`date <some format string>`
for each file name
	if the file name is not equal to logfile.log.$now
		gzip <the file>
		other archiving operations
	end if
next

My 2p.

Richard
