Subject: Zip file making issues
Does anyone have any advice for this?
I'm working on a series of commands - executed in a shell script - that zips
a deep directory in a tree. But it makes the full path as part of the ZIP
file. That's not what I want - I just want those directories that appear
after the "*". In this case:
"-J" eliminates all the paths - bad because it also kills those after the
"*"
Here's my default that includes the whole d*mn path.
/usr/local/bin/zip -r
/usr/www/d3photography.com/htdocs/images/paidphotos/1284343047-Le-ach.zip
/mount/archive/orders/Sep20/1284343047-Le-ach/download*
I could just run a "cd" to the directory parent and do it there - that would
solve the problem - but that's simply too dangerous if the script generator
throws an error on the next set of commands (a risk I do not want to take).
So how do I get it to store as "download/small/image.jpg" inside of the ZIP
file instead of
"mount/archive/orders/Sep20/1284343047-Le-ach/download/small/image.jpg".
I only recently discovered this bug -- none of my clients have had the guts
to tell me about it.
==============
Just change the directory before you start zipping.
cd /mount/archive/orders/Sep20/1284343047-Le-ach
/usr/local/bin/zip -r
/usr/www/d3photography.com/htdocs/images/paidphotos/1284343047-Le-ch.zip
download*
