I figured this out myself. Something really stupid. I wasn't putting
'{}' at the end of the tar command. Jeez.

I have Rocket’s bash, git, findutils, xargs, vim, etc installed on my
z/OS 2.4 system and can't seem to make something work.
I have a directory /u/xx35/test that contains directories with names
like 20200512, 20200513, 20200514, etc (year, month, day). These
directories have other directories and files under them. I want to
tar (but not feather!) each directory over 3 days old. I only want to
archive the directories (which should get everything in that directory
and below).
So after archiving it should look like the following (as long as each
directory is over 3 days old):
Under /u/xx35/test:
20200512
20200512.tar
20200513
20200513.tar
20200514
20200514.tar
I have a batch job executing the following:
//STEPNAME EXEC PGM=BPXBATSL
//STDPARM DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XX35.ARCHIVE.FOLDERS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
The STDPARM contains:
SH /rsusr/ported/bin/bash -l
/u/xx35/ArchiveDelete.sh /u/xx35/test
ArchiveDelete.sh contains:
#!/rsusr/ported/bin/bash
StartFolder=$1
find $StartFolder -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -mtime +3 | xargs echo
When I run the batch job, it’s output is as it should be no matter
which directory I’m in.
IEF375I JOB/XX35REXX/START 2020140.1451
IEF033I JOB/XX35REXX/STOP 2020140.1451
CPU: 0 HR 00 MIN 00.00 SEC SRB: 0 HR 00 MIN 00.00 SEC
/u/xx35/test/20200512 /u/xx35/test/20200513 /u/xx35/test/20200514
But when I change "xargs echo" to "xargs -I '{}' tar -cvzf '{}'.tar"
(full command below).
find $StartFolder -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -mtime +3 | xargs -I
'{}' tar -cvzf '{}'.tar
It doesn’t execute as I expect it to. If I do it manually in a VT320
session and am in the /u/xx35/test directory, it works as expected,
but if I’m in the directory /u/xx35, it tries to archive everything in
that directory and stick it in the /u/xx35/test directory as
20200512.tar. I’ve looked at numerous examples on the net and mine
should work so I don’t understand where I’m going wrong. I know this
is a convoluted way of doing it, but can anyone help? Need more info?
