I like to use bzip to zip up files because it deletes the original and leaves the new file.
How can I use 7zip to zip up a file and delete the original after it is done zipping?
sudo apt-get install p7zip
p7zip <filename> to compress it (it doesnt leave the original file)
p7zip -d <filename>.7z to decompress it
Sample Run:
~/Temp$ ls -ltrh
total 4.0K
-rwxrwxr-x 1 thefourtheye thefourtheye 851 Jun 18 20:22 TestIP.sh
~/Temp$ p7zip TestIP.sh
