Create tar file
Following are the list of files available in the dataout directory
Code:
a1.txt.gz
a2.txt.gz
b3.txt.gz

Step 1:
now the tar file needs to be created as follows.
Code:
tar -cvf ab.tar *.gz

All the files with extn .gzg has to be bundled in the tar file.

Once the tar file is created, the files which are inside the tar file should not be available in the dataout directory.

what is the unix command that i have to give to bundle the *.gz files in dataout directory and those *.gz files should not be available in the dataout directory which are inside the tar file.

Step 2:
I have to check the size of the tar file ab.tar. If it is greater than 1600000000 bytes, then echo "file size is high" else echo "file size is low"

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
Krishnakanth

ecaccess-file-move

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
