+# Author				: Craig Richards
+# Created				: 13th October 2011
+# Last Modified		: 
+# Version				: 1.1
+# Description			: This script will search for all *.log files in the given directory, zip them using the program you specify and then date stamp them
+
+# Modifications		: 1.1 - Added the variable zip_program so you can set it for the zip program on whichever OS, so to run on a different OS just change the locations of these two variables.

+		os.system(zip_program + " " +  files1 +" "+ files)	# Zip the logs into dated zip files for each server. - 1.1
