Hi, on my main home machine I have a little script that creates some tar.gz files then opens a k3b file so I can burn the resulting files to a dvd, like this:
/bin/bash *tar* cvfz /home/roger/backup/backupfile.tar.gz /folders/to/back/up/ k3b /home/roger/backup/backup.k3b in a file named with .sh extension. When running tar from the command line I particularly included the "v" switch for tar so that I can see the progress as each file is added. However when running from within the .sh file this doesn't happen, I can only see that the process is happening by viewing top, or watching the increasing size of the .tar.gz file in a konqueror window. Is there a way I can have the verbose output of tar in a shell window when running via the .sh file? Roger
