Hi all!

could anyone help me with a very simple script? (it simply doesn't work the variables stuff) and also how can I modify this (tar) to retrive only files which I might get as new from $(find ...)

set $FN = etc-$(date +%Y-%m-%d) tar -cf $FN.tar /etc/ gzip $FN.tar

THANKS A LOT!!!!!

Try... et FN = etc-$(date +%Y-%m-%d) tar -cf $FN.tar /etc/ gzip $FN.tar Note that I removed the $ from the first line. I haven't tested the whole thing so there might be other problems. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen http://paulsen.home.texas.net
