Unix (compressed archieve, non-verbose)
I'm confusing with this question. Smilie Can any one tell me how to do and use which command? Smilie

create a compressed archive of the "Test" directory and it's contents, called Test.tar.gz, and place it in the current directory. Use a non-verbose tar command with a single string, including the option to invoke gzip.

Create the tar file of directory and its contents using following command:-

Code:
tar -cf Test.tar Test

Create the gzip file of tar file created using following command:-

Code:
gzip Test.tar

Now you will have Test.tar.gz

Verbose tar command is with -v option which is not used.
