Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I have some troubles with script that creates a zip archive.

First I added following command:

Code:

zip -r /path/to/folder/packed_file.zip /another/path/folder_for_packing

But there is a problem: how to zip the folder without adding full path inside the archive?

'folder_for_backing' is not located in the same folder where the script is, so I cannot use this line:

Code:

zip -r /path/to/folder/packed_file.zip folder_for_packing

Using the -j attribute is also not the solution because 'folder_for_packing' contains subfolders and their structure must remain unchanged.

Is there any method to make this thing work?
Thank you.

What is preventing you from changing directory (cd ...) in your script ?

you can execute these commands in ur scriptfile

cd /path/first/folder
zip -r folder1.zip folder
mv folder1.zip /path/second/folder

The move is unnecessary.

Code:

cd /path/first/folder
zip -r /path/second/folder/folder1.zip folder
