Characteristic of a core dump? For my application, core dumps are in the form of directories named core_nnnnn, so I assume I should do find -type d -exec zip -r {} ???
Hi newbie_01,

I've tried with find . -type d -name "core_*" -exec zip -r '{}' +, finds correctly all core_xxxx folders, but it zips all within a unique zip file. And doesn't work fine if the folders have spaces in their name.

Instead I did this:

Code:
With tar:
Core_Folders=$(find . -type d -name "core_*")

for each in $Core_Folders
do
tar -zcvf $(basename $each).tar.gz $each
done

 # -It looks for every folder named with pattern core_xxxx within main folder.
# -Only works fine if the folders don't have spaces in the name.
# - All core_xxxx.tar.gz will be stored in main folder. 

Or with zip:
Core_Folders=$(find . -type d -name "core_*")

for each in $Core_Folders
do
zip -r $(basename $each) $each
done
# -It looks for every folder named with pattern core_xxxx within main folder.
  # -Only works fine if the folders don't have spaces in the name.
  # - All core_xxxx.zip will be stored in main folder.

I haven't faced that xargs reverts me to root folder so far, and if that happens not using xargs(as in examples I've posted) we will be avoiding that issue Smilie

Hope it helps

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
