Tar-ing the correct directories
Hi all, my directory structure is as follows /a/b/c. I would like to tar the /a directory including the subdirectories b and c. i intend to use the command Code:
tar -cvfz a.tgz a/ My question is where do i execute the command? do i execute it at the '/' prompt or at '/a' prompt ? My concern at executing it at '/a', is will the command go into a recursive loop? because the a.tgz will be created in the /a directory and it will keep tar-ing and zipping itself. |
