1/6 tar -cX directory.tar exclude_file /directory
doesn't seem to work on my Sun Solaris 7 box. (Though that is the
way the man page seems to say to write it).
tar -cvX exclude_file directory.tar /directory
lists the right files to be tared + tries to include directory.tar
in the tar.
Someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong. This has taken me
far too long to figure out one friggin' command.
\_ You're forgetting the "f" flag:
tar -cfX directory.tar exclude_file /directory
\_ Thanks. I'm an idiot.
\_ And you're a moron for not removing your entry.
\_ Which of course makes you twice the moron for not
removing it either.
\_ I hope you never breed. |
