What shell are you using? That works in both BASH and KSH.

You are correct, though, in that...

Hm. If .sf are files, there's no point using find here, since a simple loop will work just as good.

FILES=""
for FILE in *.sf
do
FILE2="${FILE/.sf}".sfd
[ -e "$FILE2" ] &&...

tar -T - reads filenames from stdin(= from find). ... if your version of tar supports -T


find /your/path -mtime -10 | tar -cf backup.tar -T -

The request seems to be to add a .* to every single file name, have it an extension or not. Try this small adaption to MadeInGermany's proposal:
find * -type f -mtime -365 | sed 's/[.][^.]*$//;...

... or the script is run with "sh -x"; the -x option also turns on the debug mode.

The following will run faster, and log less in debug mode
find * -type f -mtime -365 |
# replace a trailing...

Hi.

On a system I sometimes use:
OS, ker|rel, machine: HP-UX, B.11.11, 9000/785
Distribution : GenericSysName [HP Release B.11.11] (see /etc/issue)
/bin/tar - ( /bin/tar May 23 2007 )...

ok. Seems your cpio does not understand --format=crc. Just leave that option out. --make-directories is not understood either.

find * -type f -mtime -100 -exec tar cf - {} + | gzip > $MAITUT/BCK_DATA.tar.gzAs stated from others here: The above command will break when there are too many files found.

This is an alternative...

Hmmm - isn't it that tar expects the files to create an archive from on the command line? Doesn't it use stdin only when extracting from a data stream?

So xargs WOULD be needed to supply the file...

Looking at Rudi's
find * -type f -mtime -$nb_days -print | xargs tar cf - | gzip > $MAITUT/BCK_DATA.tar.gz
I would say xarg is useless and will give you trouble and is maybe what is upsetinf you...

hello
you can use this code:

find * -type f -mtime -$nb_days -print -exec tar cvf {} \; && bzip2 *.tar




Please use CODE tags as required by forum rules!

These options will struggle with too many filenames because xargs will produce multiple commands from the list. The command xargs (as I understand it) will take the input list and try to make a...

find * -type f -mtime -$nb_days -print | xargs tar cf - | gzip > $MAITUT/BCK_DATA.tar.gz
Maybe the following works as well (and handles special characters in filenames better)
find * -type f -mtime...

Does the tar without gzip contain anything?

Je vous en prie.

You already used a pipe in your sample. Try (untested, may need further polishing)

find * -type f -mtime -$nb_days -print | xargs tar -cv | gzip > $MAITUT/BCK_DATA.tar.gz

What keeps you from just piping tar's stdout into gzip?
