The 'compress' command is normally supplied in all Unix and Linux distributions. The Gzip protocol is also very common, as is the original pkzip format.
7z is also used along with others, but those are the most popular.
You can schedule jobs using cron and the /etc/crontab file, or you can use the "at" command
In order to zip a subdirectory in Linux you would use the zip command with the recursive flag to specify that it should add all files under that directory into the zip file. The command would then be zip -r .zip .
vi
$
Every user of Linux is belonging to at least one group. GID (Group ID) is used to identify the group. A group can have many users. Also whenever a user is created in Linux a Group is created with the same name. You can find group information in /etc/group file. To display contents of file use command cat /etc/group

On the disk it is not a compressed file... like if i were to send someone a file and it was 40 megabytes, i could compress the folder down to 20 megabytes using winrar, it will compress any file/ folder for you... they are mostly used as zip files or folders.
In unix mv command is used to 'move' a file or folder from one location to another. It can also be used for renaming a file or folder. For eg: to change the name of a file 'sample.txt' to 'testfile.txt', mv sample.txt testfile.txt Enter 'mv --help' or 'man mv' in the shell prompt for the manual page of mv command.
The file extension. .doc, .xml, .exe, etc. Only applicable to Windows files. Linux does not use file extension and MAC uses file types and creator codes.
The VERIFY command cannot be used for an empty VSAM file where the high used RBA (Relative Byte Address) in its catalog record is 0 (zero).
Simply any text edittor can be used to write C program. To compile the .c file saved, Linux comes with gcc compiler. In the command line: $ gcc -o outputfile inputfile.c will compile the inputfile.c and create executable outputfile. Other than that there are number of IDEs (i.e. Integrated Development Environment) are available such as Kdevelop, Eclipse etc.
