Dave, To exclude all files with a given name, regardless of their directory path, just enter the name without a preceding slash. For example: "example" rather than "/example" Here is an example *exclude_list* ----------------------------------------------- # this is a comment line /tmp/example/dir/all /tmp/example/dir2only/ /usr/home/*/all_tmp /*/all_temp core -------------------------------------------------- Anurag
