Hi, I'm having trouble using tar with simple exclusion rules.. I'd like to be able to run something like this:
tar cfvzp etc-backup.tgz /etc/ but exclude all *.gz files. I can only the --exclude syntax of tar if I leave off the -vzp options. Why doesn't the following work? tar cfvzp --exclude="*.gz" usr-backup.tgz /etc/ Thanks, Andrew. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
