Usually, you can find relative paths and control where it picks up and drops with cd on each end!
If your net is so fast and your cpu is so slow, compress is faster than gzip -1.
I feel like I am overhearing half of a phone conversation. Can you summarize all your needs in one list?

Your parameters don't look quite right.
By doing 'opt/' instead of '/opt/' you can test in an opt dir inside your current dir instead of stomping over /opt/ itself.
The '-c -' on gzip/gunzip actually do nothing, and the point of bothering to compress is to put rsh or ssh in the chain before gunzip and so keep the network from being such a bottleneck. If that was no concern, rcp -rp would move it all.
I am doing a program that will calculate the 199th fibonacci number using pipelines and multiple processes for each calculation. I have figured everything out except why none of the processes before the last one never execute the findfib() function;

My problem is more a question of how to do it more elegantly than how to do it at all. The problem:
I have a pipeline which has to write to the screen AND to a logfile:

What makes things difficult is i also need the return code of proc1. But

Hi all,
I have a tar file and inside that tar file is a folder with additional tar.gz files. What I want to do is look inside the first tar file and then find the second tar file I'm looking for, look inside that tar.gz file to find a certain directory. I'm encountering issues by trying to... (1 Reply)
I would like to confirm my file.tar is been tar-ed correctly before I remove them. But I have very limited disc space to untar it.
Can I just do the listing instead of actual extract it? Can I say confirm folder integrity if the listing is sucessful without problem?

Coming from this thread, just wondering if there is an option to check if the Tar of the files/directory will be without any file-errors without actually making the tar.
Scenario:
Let's say you have a directory of 20GB, but you don't have the space to make Tar file at the moment, and you want... (14 Replies)

bf_tar
BF_TAR(1)BF_TAR(1)NAME
bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout
SYNOPSIS
bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory
DESCRIPTION
bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
EXAMPLES below).
OPTIONS
The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
files.
The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.
EXIT STATUS
The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.
EXAMPLES
o bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar
Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.
o bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz
Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.
o bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar
Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.
NOTES
This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.
This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.
This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
