I want to compress a web tree to copy to another system whilst leaving the original tree unaltered, do I need to 1st tar it and then gzip it, or is there a single step solution ?
I tried bzip2 as per RedHat docs, but it seems RH docs differ from what bzip2 does: -------------------- You can use bzip2 to compress multiple files and directories at the same time by listing them with a space between each one: bzip2 filename.bz2 file1 file2 file3 /usr/work/school The above command compresses file1, file2, file3, and the contents of the /usr/work/school directory (assuming this directory exists) and places them in a file named filename.bz2. ------------------- -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
