Take a file from the system and put on tape and reset the file to 0 bytes
I did this the other day but one of my support personnel removed my history so i could call it back up to remeber the exact command since i am air-headed at times. I am trying to take a 30 MEG file off the system and drop it to tape then i want to make the file go back to being 0 bytes so the system can start writing a new file. I am running a running HP Unix 11.0 and it is on a L-2000 class system. Please can anyone answer this scenerio the less keystrokes the happier i will be!! ThanksLast edited by JackieRyan26; 09-06-2001 at 02:31 PM..
