Hi
I cannot understand how to exclude a file from tar.
I tried:
tar --exclude VA01109-1/ds/gmon.out -cvf /tmp/save.tgz *
targ -cvf /tmp/save.tgz --exclude VA01109-1/ds/gmon.out *
VA01109-1/ds/gmon.out in /tmp/exclude_file
tar -X /tmp/exclude_file -cvf /tmp/save.tgz *
tar -cvf /tmp/save.tgz -X /tmp/exclude_file *
no way, gmon.out is allways in my archive
How does it work???
thanks,
Alain.
Hello Alain,
Try this again without adding the path to the exclude list. For example
just use "tar --exclude=gmon.out -cvf /tmp/save.tgz *
This should solve your problem but if it doesn’t please post back with the
output from ‘uname -a’.
Regards,
Dave B.
