Hi,

cp -rp /u01/app/<directory> /u01/app/backup |gzip -r
/u01/app/backup/<directory>
Thanks,
Prakash

Is there a way to copy a file and compress it at the same time?
I realize the file can be copied and then compressed, but I was wondering if it's possible to do it in a one-line command and for that matter, if it would be more efficient to perform the operation with a one-line command?
Thanks. (5 Replies)
