Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting read list of filenames from text file, archive, and remove Post 302111320 by Perderabo on Tuesday 20th of March 2007 07:58:50 PM

If the script called listfiles is in the current directory, use
./listfiles
to run it. Alternatively, listfiles could be placed in one of the directories on your PATH. Use "echo $PATH" to see the path.

If qwerty.qqq has been recorded as simply qwerty, what happens if there is both a qwerty.qqq and a qwerty.yyy? Since you are looking for thousands of files, you will need to do something like this:
find / -print > /some/directory/longlisting
and then repeatedly search longlisting to get the paths to the files to be archived.

AMARCHIVER(8)						  System Administration Commands					     AMARCHIVER(8)

NAME
amarchiver - Create, extract or list amanda archive SYNOPSIS
amarchiver --version|--create|--extract|--list [--verbose] [--file file] [filename]... DESCRIPTION
Amarchiver manipulates amanda archive file. On creation, amarchiver doesn't recurse into directories. If a filename specifies a directory, it will be ignored. If it specifies a character device, amarchiver reads the device and archives the data. If a filename specifies a named pipe, amarchiver reads the named pipe and archives the data. Note that this tool is more limited than the Amanda archive library, and may not be appropriate for some archive files -- particularly those which use non-strings in their filenames. OPTIONS
--version print the amarchiver version --create Create an amanda archive. Only the supplied filenames are included. With one --verbose, lists the filenames. With two, lists the filenames and sizes. --list List the filenames in an amanda archive. No additional filenames are allowed on the command line. --extract Extract an amanda archive. If filenames are supplied, only those files are extracted. Files are created in the current directory, suffixed with a dot ('.') and the attribute ID. --verbose Give more information. --file file Create, list or extract from the given file instead of stdin/stdout.
