I think it should not report anything, but it could be an option to show some progress as it works. You could allways turn on verbose with --verbose. I've already submitted a bug to debian about unwanted output when tar is not given any --verbose and --newer and --newer-mtime is used. Unwanted output is annoing when tar is used in backupscripts, and the output will give unwanted information in ie. an email from the script. -- mvh Hans-Christian Egtvedt _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
