This probably has identical behavior identical to /dev/null, but is
longer to type.
/dev/null seems less portable. Here I have bash and dash, and /dev/null
does not

So it looks like the ultimate solution is Greg Folkert's suggestion to
install the package unp, which handles multiple archives and
automatically chooses the right extractor. Cameron Hutchison's shell
function is also handy, but unp probably makes that unnecessary if you can
install packages on
files on my
harddrive and burned onto cds. I want to backup everything that has
been modified since the last full backup, so I use:
tar --newer-mtime ../mail4Mar07.tar.gz -cvzf 18Mar2007.tar.gz \

unp, orange. Right. Never heard of either of them. I have now.
unp doesn't do proper character escaping, though. So, never do things
like unp *.tar.bz2 on files that come from an external source, as

i think it's best to use the find command - something like that
find . -type f -name *.tar.bz2 -exec tar xjf {} \;
ps:
try this first to check u get the filelist u wanted:
find . -type f -name *.tar.bz2

Hi,
Related to another post concerning the possible demise of my

Thanks for your replies, everyone. It seems to me that there might be a
market for a simple script frontend to tar that would handle shell-expanded
wildcards; perhaps it could be included in Debian's package of tar. Would
that be a good idea? Does anything like that already exist
