Operating Systems HP-UX Exclude socket files from PAX backup Post 303018449 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 6th of June 2018 12:47:54 PM

I'm out of ideas. You can specify a list of filenames to add to the archive from a directory tree -- using find, but I've never tried it.

Code:
find /path ! -type s

Note: AFAIK this works only in cpio mode, which already allows you to specify file types to include anyway. Try cpio mode.

This is why I specifically mentioned tar. It has an exclude option that is an exclude file, which lists actual file names to exclude - you populate it with the find command I gave above.
