I already removed mtools, but decided to reinstall it for a test: $ grep -v "#" /usr/bin/tgz
set -e set -u Error () { echo "Error: $0: ${@-}." >&2 exit 1 } dest= src=. tar cvf - . | gzip -9v exit 0 dest=$1 src=. else dest=$1 shift src="${@-}" fi case $dest in "" | . | .. | */ | */. | */.. ) echo "Usage: $0: [destination [source...] ]" >&2 exit 1 ;; *.t?z | *.?z | *.z | *.Z | *.tz | *.tz? ) ;; *) esac if [ -h "$dest" ]; then Error "Destination file \"$dest\" already exists as a symbolic link" elif [ -f "$dest" ]; then Error "Destination \"$dest\" already exists as a file" elif [ -d "$dest" ]; then Error "Destination \"$dest\" already exists as a directory" fi if [ -z "$dest" -o "X$dest" = 'X-' ]; then echo "Writing gzipp'd tar archive to standard output." >&2 tar cvfS - -- $src | gzip -9v else echo "Writing gzip'd tar archive to \"$dest\"." >&2 tar -cvS --totals --exclude "$dest" -f - -- $src | gzip -9v > "$dest" ls -l "$dest" >&2 fi exit 0 I still can't see what created those copy files, however, I'll uninstall mtools again. Dunno why I didn't take a look at the file before :D. _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list D-community-offtopic@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
