Sorry, Guys, I get one more question here. Be default, "gzip -d " will unzip
a zipped file to the same location , is there a way to let it unzip to
another location which is different from the place where the zipped file is
located.

Thanks.

here’s one way: “gzip -d < file.gz >/other/dir/file”

(or “zcat file.gz >/other/dir/file”, which is the same thing)

regards,
rick

gzip -dc file > newfile

the ‘c’ flag tells it to decompress to stdout, preserving the original file.

cheers,
