#!/bin/ksh
###
# Script to test how GNU tar will deal with exclusions.
#
# mkdir /tmp/gtar-test # work area
# cd /tmp/gtar-test
# mkdir testdir # test area to back up
# mkdir testdir/log # create the test cases
# touch testdir/log/do-this-file # ...
# touch testdir/log/skip-this-file # ...
# vi excludes # set up patterns
# Amanda.gtartest | gtar tf - # see what happens
#
# or, you can use this same script as Amanda.gtartest-exclude and pass
# one argument which is the pattern to ignore (ala the exclude option
# in amanda.conf vs exclude-list):
#
# ...
# Amanda.gtartest-exclude ./log/skip-this-file | gtar tf -
