-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, How can I pass a *list* of excluded *directories* to tar? Would it be delimited by whitespace, comma, quoted or what? I'll ultimately want to create this list as a variable. I also want to preserve existing ownership and permissions. I'm using the following command at this point, but I can't find anything in man tar about excluding more than one pattern...or did I miss something? [charles@moe charles]$ tar cvCfz /home/charles /tmp/my_home_dir.tgz . - --exclude /home/charles/.giFT/ - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Registered Linux user # 347576 (http://counter.li.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAQm1n/S+VsB9RMKgRArwXAKCRePA/0Tb4AI8lw+IH4BMwpsUWswCcCJyh +NzZNCb6rht79UF7pNo2Pgk= =ESDx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
