Hi guys,
This is just a follow-up so others can use this really simple shell
script to backup their machines on a network using tar over ssh.
I took the advice of Angus, Jan and Steve who suggested
that I use a test in the .bashrc for interactive invocation of the
shell by checking the value of

Nice idea but I am backi
Hmmm consider writing a little program to insert in the pipe that filters
all output until it gets a marker.
ssh root@martel 'echo "MARKER"; tar cvf - /home/mikel/testing' | filter.pl

filter.pl goes something like this..
#!/usr/bin/perl
$mark=0;
while() # read a line from STDI

Hi guys,
Persuant to a suggestion that I should not be trying to backup machines
