Cheers All how helped... Vino.. you pointer me in the right direction and it does work now without the ./

Thanks!!...

but because of that it leads me into another quick question... as you can imagine I don't hand write the exclude list... I use a find command..

and the simplified example ...

root@node1 [~/tmp]# find ./1_dir/ -name '1_f*' -print > exclude_file
root@node1 [~/tmp]# more exclude_file
./1_dir/1_file

Is there an easy way to remove the ./ at the start?? If I'm going down the complete wrong path here and someone else has a better method then I'm very open to it!!


Sam


****************************************************
proof of past solution....

root@node1 [~/tmp]# tar cv -X exclude_file -f tar.tar 1_dir/
1_dir/
1_dir/1_1_dir/
1_dir/1_1_dir/1_1_file
root@node1 [~/tmp]# more exclude_file
1_dir/1_file

NAME
cmscancl - gather system configuration information from nodes with Serviceguard installed. SYNOPSIS
cmscancl [-n node_name]... [-s|-o output_file] DESCRIPTION
cmscancl is a configuration report and diagnostic tool intended only for use by HP Support Personnel. It gathers system software and hard- ware configuration information from a list of nodes, or from all the nodes in a cluster. The information that this command displays includes LAN device configuration, network status and interfaces, file systems, LVM configuration, link-level connectivity (HPUX only), IPv4/IPv6 connectivity, and the data from the binary cluster configuration file. This command can be used as a troubleshooting tool or as a data collection tool. This command is a Perl script which gathers system configuration information by executing various OS commands or tools. It uses the cmexec command to gather information from remote nodes. The -n option can be used to specify a list of nodes to be scanned, the nodes to be scanned do not need to be a member of a cluster. If the -n option is not specified, it will scan all the nodes in the local cluster. By default, the output of this command will go to the file /tmp/scancl.out. If the file /tmp/scancl.out already exists, the old file will be saved in /tmp/scancl.out.old. The -o option can be used to redirect output to a specified output file. If the -o option is not specified, output will go to the default output file /tmp/scancl.out. The -s option can be used to direct all output to the screen, instead of to an output file. Options cmscancl supports the following options: -n node_name... Specify the node(s) to be scanned. If this option is not specified and there is a cluster configured, all the nodes in the cluster will be scanned. If this option is not specified and there is no cluster configured, only the local node will be scanned. -o output_file Write configuration information to a specified output file. If this option is not specified, the information will be directed to stdout. -s Display the configuration information to the screen only. This option cannot be used in conjunction with the -o option. The output from this command contains the following information: LAN device configuration (On HP-UX, output from lanscan; On Linux, output from ifconfig) network status and interfaces (output from netstat) file systems (output from mount) LVM configuration (contents of /etc/lvmtab file) LVM physical vg information (contents of /etc/lvmpvg file) link-level connectivity (HP-UX only) (output from linkloop) IPv4/IPv6 connectivity (results from ping (and ping6 on Linux)) binary configuration file data (output from cmviewconf) RETURN VALUE
cmscancl returns the following value: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command failed. EXAMPLES
To gather the configuration information from node1 and node2 and to save the output in file /tmp/scancl.log: cmscancl -n node1 -n node2 -o /tmp/myscancl.log To gather the configuration information from all the nodes in the cluster and save the output to the file: /tmp/scancl.log: cmscancl -o /tmp/myscancl.log To gather the configuration information from all the nodes in the cluster and display the output on the screen: cmscancl -s To gather the configuration information from all the nodes in the cluster and save the output to the file /tmp/scancl.out: cmscancl AUTHOR
