Unix Tip #4069- April 2, 2012
TAR IS A ZIP
Ever want to tar and compress
a file all in one command:
tar cf - /home/foo | compress > foo.tar.Z
gzip can be used the same way
tar cf - /home/foo | gzip > foo.tar.Z
If you wanted to capture the
output so you had an index file
of what the tar file contains:
For sh, ksh use:
tar cvf - /home/foo 2>foo.idx | compress > foo.tar.Z
For csh use:
(tar cvf - /home/foo | compress > /foo.tar.Z) >&foo.idx
and an index file will be created.
NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
by various unix admins around the globe. UGU suggest you read and
test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
production.
