I am attempting to fashion myself a backup script. If I point tar at a directory it tars subdirectories which I don't want. I have come up with a solution which only tars files in the directory and ignores everything else. It works but it a bit of a kludge. Does anyone have a more elegant suggestion? Code below.
Script---------------------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash tar -czvf backup-`date +"%a-%d-%m-%y"`.tgz \ `find /var/www/html/ -type f -maxdepth 1` echo Done End script----------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers Ross Drummond
