I dom something similar to what you ask. What I do is tar a directory and all it's contense EXCEPT one diectory.

I want to tar all files on a directory without include any other directory, I've tried with --exclude but no hope, any suggestion ??? Thanks...
tar -zcf name.tgz --exclude MP3 dirname/
Explanation:
I'm tarring a dir. and excluding the dir MP3 and it's files. I'm sure you will be able to expand on this.
Use man tar to see all the switches.
Sounds find, but wouldn't
$tar /home/foo/*
get this job done without including subdirs, since there's no -R involved?
I read the OP's question as "I want to tar all the files in a directory without including any other directories..." which would mean "any (sub)directories within the directory would not be placed in the tarball", right?

Are you talking about PF or IPF in 4.9? If it's IPF, it's a kernel option. Check out LINT and you'll find:
options IPFILTER #ipfilter support options IPFILTER_LOG #ipfilter logging options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK #block all packets by default
Also, you should be able to do a man ipf on 4.9. --

-R means show record number. Recursive is the default, -n is no recursive.

Kirk-this is Peg Pellegrino-remember me?--you were trying to connect me with Andrew Frankel, MD---
I started composing a letter to Dr. Frankel and stopped--don't want to step on your toes--but I lost all of you information--I have now relocated to Southern California--staying in Irvine at a Candlewood Suites (Temp) and I have been sending resumes (better than the one you saw)--I have two pretty good offers from practices in Beverly hills--don't want to jump too fast--wonder if you know if Dr. Frankel is still looking?
If you have the time-let me know--the idea of the new 'growing practice' appeals to me alot---and he is wrong in his assumption that I am not familiar with high profile patients.

Hi - I was wondering if there is a list of absolutely required files for FreeBSD? I'm trying to trim an installation down as small as possible (to put on Compact Flash).
If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's around 100megs of files. Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need.
However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other parts of FreeBSD (ie /etc/rc.* files)?
Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by FreeBSD for normal operation?
Thanks!

I am writing a script that mails me when certain events occur. I am using mail(1) to notify me by email when some things happen. I have read the man page and I don't see a way to attach a file, does anyone know how to use mail(1) to attach a file?

Hi!
I have a DHCP server at home (isc-dhcpd) and I've been wondering for a long time why it is giving the last IP addresses of the specified range at first? Like I tell him a range from 10.0.0.50 to 10.0.0.100 and it's giving 100 then 99,98,97 and so on. Why not directly 50 then 51,52,53,... ??
Should be someone who knows :)

Subject: freezing with intel motherboard D865PERL To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello all, I am having the following problem with a new system: the system will install (minimal) fine from cd, after install when i am attempting to do anything cpu intensive (for example compiling a port or a custom kernal) the console freezes, I am not able to switch to another console, or ssh in, or ping the box after a ping. I was wondering if anyone else has had this type of problem...and more importantly found a solution.

other notes: Generic 4.9 kernal I have tried 5.1 and 5.2 and have experianced the same freezing problem, which makes me think the hardware route.
The box doesn't reboot when it freezes, so I don't think it is a temperature issue I have switched out the power supply as well as the motherboard (same model)
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

I need to build a file server for work. I was wondering what people on the list use for a RAID solution?
I would like to stick to an IDE RAID controller. RAID5 or RAID1.
Also what do you recommend for a cheap tape backup?
And before I forget, pls let me know if you are using it under 4.x or 5.x.
I would love to do an external STA type setup but I am sure it is not quite there yet under FreeBSD.
Thanks for the info!

Hello List,
I have a question that's slightly off-topic, but not. I install high-end surveillance equipment for CCTV and such. I have a rather large client in Minneapolis who's using Dedicated Micros digital video recorders. The particular model we're using has a 500 GB hdd, but this client would like to archive images to tape for longer storage. As of now, we're only getting about 2 months of recording time. For off-site viewing, this unit can off-load images to a SCSI cd recorder. Does anyone suggest a tape backup device that would be SCSI and external, with a fairly high-capacity? I'm thinking around 50 GB?
TIA
Chris tar exclusion problem
EXCLUDING FILES WITH TAR
Run this command
echo stuff > exclude <--- stuff is the directory to exclude dont forget to use >> if amending more directories the exclude file.
then run
tar cvXf exclude backup.tar /home/terry/ <----- the X is the exclude switch and f is the tar file name
they must be in the same order
Example below
tar cvXf exclude delete.tar /home/terry
Allso full path to exclude file is some times needed
