Not all systems have a nice place you can safely write a list file, either. One would also need to arrange to clean up this file afterwards, and to make sure it was not included in the list itself, or else is given to tar as an exclusion. Ideally the list file is auto-generated, and's a name that can never collide. mktemp stuff. Either way, potential complications. I'm still trying to get used to /proc/self/fd/0 versus /dev/stdin! -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
