This is what newsyslog(8) is for, but test(1) is what you're looking
for. There may be a builtin version in your shell, but you can get
the one from the man page by specifying /bin/test.
Something like
for fil in * ;
do
if test -f $fil ;
then gzip $fil
fi
done
[untested, and the syntax is for sh-style shells]
