Use info script (--info-script option). The environment variable $TAR_FD contains a file descriptor where you can write the new name. See the working script example at http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_75.html#info_002dscript (you need version 1.17 or later for that feature) > Also, each new volume it requires the caller to "hit return" to > continue, can that be made without? No keyboard interaction is required once the info script is given. Regards, Sergey
