gzip script (used for nginx)

gistfile1.txt

#!/bin/sh
cp $1 $1.tmp

## Remove the old gz if there is one
rm -rf $1.gz

## Compress the tmp HTML copy. Use the highest level 9
## compression and do not store dates or file names
## in the gzip header. BTW, if the compressed gz is
## larger then the original file a gzip will NOT be made.
gzip -9 $1.tmp -c > $1.gz

## Clean up any tmp files
rm -rf $1.tmp
