Replace the "file concatenate" symbol ">" with the pipe symbol "|", and then follow that directly with the gzip command.
/usr/uv/bin/uvbackup -f -v -l "TEST" /data1/MEMBERSHIP/GM.MEDLE | gzip -9 > /backup/GM.MEDLE.gz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claus Derlien Sent: 20 February 2004 10:54 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: uvbackup Hi, Can anyone help me with the proper syntax for this problem : I want to backup a single uv file (DYNAMIC) and compress it with gzip in one go, i have no problems doing it in two steps like this : /usr/uv/bin/uvbackup -f -v -l "TEST" /data1/MEMBERSHIP/GM.MEDLE > /backup/GM.MEDLE gzip -9 /backup/GM.MEDLE this leaves me with GM.MEDLE.gz in /backup, very nicely since uvbackup uses stdout and gzip uses stdin it must somehow be possible to redirect gzip output to /backup/GM.MEDLE.gz best regards from denmark Claus Derlien edb-afdelingen direkte : 63 13 86 69 email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************************** This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.
