In the spirit of finding an answer... I went to one of the oldest crustiest Linux guy I know. Here's this thought:
Here's what I'd try: find $DIRS -name "*.rrd" | xargs tar cvzf rrd_files.tar.gz && find $DIRS -name "*.rrd" | xargs rm So, we're creating the list and feeding it into xargs. Xargs will then feed tar to create our tarball. Should that complete w/out error we'll run find again and pipe that to xargs to remove the files. Now, another thought that he and I had was that since tar is in "verbose" mode, it will print each file as it creates the tarball. Given that, you might be able to just pipe that to xargs and have it call rm on those. It'd be fun to play with and see how it worked. Michael J.
