I think it does.
But your tar does not read from the pipe, it takes the arguments which require a dot.
Without the dot, and without the pipe

Code:

tar -cvf transfer_dmz_start_daily.tar *${Today}*

assuming that Today is a correctly set shell variable.
If you want to use the output from find:

Code:

Todayfiles=`find . -ctime -1`
if [ -n "$Todayfiles" ]
then
  tar -cvf transfer_dmz_start_daily.tar $Todayfiles
fi

I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in. How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want.

virt-tar-in

virt-tar-in(1)						      Virtualization Support						    virt-tar-in(1)

NAME

       virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination

	virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination

	zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination

WARNING

       Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut down
       before you use this command.

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       The first parameter is the tar file.  Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input.	The second parameter is the absolute target
       directory to unpack into.

EXAMPLES

       Upload a home directory to a guest:

	virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO

       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-make-fs(1), virt-tar-out(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
