Operating Systems AIX How-to: copying gzip on other servers Post 302328643 by Browser_ice on Thursday 25th of June 2009 12:06:29 AM

How-to: copying gzip on other servers

We have 22 servers where 3 of them have gzip 1.2.4 installed on our AIX 4.2 .

If I want to copy that gzip unto all the other servers, is it simply a matter of compying the /usr/local/bin/gzip or do I also have to copy other files (librairies, ...) ?

I sent an email to the gzip support group about 2 weeks ago. I haven't received any emails yet.

NAME
gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files SYNOPSIS
gzforce [ name ... ] DESCRIPTION
gzforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for files with names trun- cated after a file transfer. On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact. SEE ALSO
gzip(1), gznew(1), gzmore(1), gzgrep(1), gzdiff(1), gzexe(1) ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +--------------------+-----------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Availability | SUNWgzip | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Interface Stability | External | +--------------------+-----------------+ NOTES
Source for gzip is available in the SUNWgzipS package. GZFORCE(1)
