Hi Eric, It looks like a issue with the combination between shell and tar: <http://superuser.com/questions/266422/tar-c-with-a-wildcard-file-pattern> Does it work on your CentOS 6 system, because I've test it on one of my CentOS 6.5 systems and the result is: # ls -l /tmp/testfile.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 7 21:41 /tmp/testfile.txt # tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile* tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Regards, Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
