help with tar & zip only last months(say,Sep) files
Need to
1. archive all the files in a directory from the previous month into a tar/gz file, ignoring all already archived 'tar.gz' files
2. Check created .tar.gz file isnt corrupted and has all the required files in it. and then remove the original files.
I am using a function to get the last month name from the current sys date. After getting just the last months files, I have tried passing complete pathname/filename to tar, just the filename to tar and output of ls -l to tar but none works... I am getting one or other error in the tar step and cant get the syntax right... Please help
and I am trying:
Error eg.

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
gzip: /home/trial/testing/logarchive_2012_Sep.tar: No such file or directory

[ERROR]tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Cannot stat: No such file or directory[/ERROR]
