| I would like to create directory hierachies from mtree spec files, but | restrict this to selected hierachies (where the mtree files contain a | bit more). Seems like that rather than add more complexity to mtree, the answer here is just to use a different mtree spec file. That is, something like grep whatever original-spec-file [ | grep otherstuff ]... >/tmp/temp-spec mtree -f /tmp/temp-spec If a change/addition to mtree is desirable, IMO, it would be to allow "-f -" so the temp file isn't needed (just read spec from stdin). kre
