A script accepts one command arguments, the command must be an integer, and it will compress all files in current working directory of size that is at least the command input; if not then it will print an Error message: xxx is not a number.

    what's your actual question? You want someone to write the script for you? Is this part of a UNIX class where you've learnt something to put into practice?
