You need to take an entire directory and all subfolders? Here's how. Throw this into a script and run it:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# Descend Current Directory unless target directory provided on command line
# Find all files with "tar.z" and uncompress and then tar extract them into current
# directory (or 2nd argument on command line)
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
SDIR="${1:-.}"
TDIR="${2:-.}"
find $SDIR -type f -name "*.tar.z" -print |
while read file; do
echo -n "Processing $file..."
if zcat $file | tar xfC - $TDIR ; then
echo "done"
else
echo "ERROR"
fi 2>extract.$$.log
done
if test -s extract.$$.log; then
echo "Errors:"
cat extract.$$.log
else
rm -f extract.$$.log
fi

sendfiles
SENDFILES(1) [nmh-1.5] SENDFILES(1)NAME
sendfiles - send multiple files via a MIME message
SYNOPSIS
sendfiles [delay] mailpath subject file1 [file2 ...]
DESCRIPTION
The shell script sendfiles, is used to send a collection of files and directories via electronic mail.
sendfiles mailpath "subject" files ...
sendfiles will archive the files and directories you name with the tar command, and then mail the compressed archive to the "mailpath" with
the given "subject". The archive will be automatically split up into as many messages as necessary in order to get past most mailers.
Sometimes you want sendfiles to pause after posting a partial message. This is usually the case when you are running sendmail and expect
to generate a lot of partial messages. If the first argument given to sendfiles starts with a dash, then it is interpreted as the number
of seconds to pause in between postings, e.g.,
sendfiles -30 mailpath "subject" files ...
will pause 30 seconds in between each posting.
Extracting the Received Files
When these messages are received, invoke mhstore once for the list of messages. The default is for mhstore to store the combined parts as
a new message in the current folder, although this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then use mhlist to find out
what's inside; possibly followed by mhstore again to write the archive to a file where you can subsequently uncompress and untar it. For
instance:
% mhlist 5-8
msg part type/subtype size description
5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
% mhstore 5-8
reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
% mhlist -verbose 9
msg part type/subtype size description
9 application/octet-stream 118K
(extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
type=tar
conversions=compress
% mhstore 9
% uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
Alternately, by using the -auto switch, mhstore will automatically do the extraction for you:
% mhlist 5-8
msg part type/subtype size description
5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
% mhstore 5-8
reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
% mhlist -verbose 9
msg part type/subtype size description
9 application/octet-stream 118K
(extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
type=tar
conversions=compress
% mhstore -auto 9
-- tar listing appears here as files are extracted
As the second tar listing is generated, the files are extracted. A prudent user will never put -auto in the .mh_profile file. The correct
procedure is to first use mhlist to find out what will be extracted. Then mhstore can be invoked with -auto to perform the extraction.
