Does anyone know a simple command to package and compress a file all in one tar command instead of individually implementing each tar and gzip commands. Instead of using tar -c something > something.tar gzip something.tar > something.tar.gz With decompression, you can use tar -zxvf and it does it all in one swoop. ============================================================= Avenir Web's Linux Discussion List List info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/webpage?webpage_id=13 To unsubscribe: email linux-discussion-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line.
