Hi all, What I want to do is untar multiple tarballs, the are mostly resident in the same directory.I did a google and came across this command for a loop:
# for i in *.tar.gz; do tar -xvzf $i; done Which to me looks ok, but I've got a few questions, 1. is this the best way to do it? 2. is it wise to untar multiple files at the same time? 3. are there any gotchas I should know about? 4. if the answer to the first two above is yes can I then add to this command to untar reqursivly through child folders? (ie untar /downloads && /downloads/extradownloads Kerry
