1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
You will create a shell script that performs the following action:
Use a parameter to pass a file that contains a list of file locations.
Read the list of file locations and store it as a variable
Using the list of file location create a compressed file, do not show any output from this command
Display the contents of the compressed file
Display the size of the newly created compressed file
Keep getting the following errors/outputs:
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /phager/Desktop: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
The script still creates the compression file, but when I try to display the file size and file name with the stat command I get more info than I want, all I need to display is the file size and name after the echo command "The size of file1.tgz is:"
