    .gz files how to open

    Could someone please tell me how to download and open the weblog files available on cpanel. When I download the file the system seems to convert it to a webpage (msdos file). 7-zip and winzip don't recongnize it. Thanks.

    You can try downloading gzip (COMMAND LINE UTILITY) from http://www.gzip.org/#exe

    But, since there seems to be some converting going on? Try opening it in a text editor or word processor. I know, AOL for instant, unzips files automatically --- every annoying.

      hmm the latest WinZip (9 is it?) tells me something
      along the lines of needing to open it with the "Classical"
      look to be able to open .GZ, .TAR etc. files (basicly diff vers. of .ZIP)

        WinRAR handles them fine
        A good friend will bail you out of jail

            Very possibly he manually LOGGED into cPanel, and
            MANUALLY initated a cPanel backup and MANUALLY downloaded it

            Hmm; think I used 'Manually' in this reply to much?

              I logged in a few minutes after this, and saw the CPU percentage fluctuate from 79% to 3%, then be nothing, then up to 58%, then down to 12%, etc.

              I'm assuming this kind of peak activity is OK for a short while. It seems to me when we hear of someone getting suspended, its for a huge amount of CPU use over an extended period of time because of a run-away process, etc.

              I also noted that the "user" was "root", so I wondered if it was the "old style" backup being performed by Admin.

                Yah it showed root, but I have no clue, I just saw it surging waaaaay up.
