Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar

[Michael Boligan]

It doesn't use the exclude, but it would do what you want:

cd /home/user01
tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 mark01 mark02

where /dev/rmt0 is your tape device, or you can substitute a disk destination.

HTH,
Mike

Hello,

On Solaris 8

I can't seem to get the tar command right.  I wanted to tar a directory but
EXCLUDE one of the subdirectory in it.
Example:
/home/user01
/home/user01/mark01
/home/user01/mark01/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark01/ghost.txt
/home/user01/mark02
/home/user01/mark02/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark02/ghost.txt
/home/user01/mark03
/home/user01/mark03/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark03/ghost.txt

I wanted to tar everything except /home/user01/mark03/*
man pages on tar says there is an option to exclude files but I just can't
get it to work for me.

Can someone show me how to do this right?

Thanks,
Ross
