No, you can't. However, you can use the following command in order to simulate extraction from multiple archives: find / -name '*.tar' -exec tar -xvf {} \; This command assumes that the archives are stored in a directory (named ). You may replace '*.tar' with your own spec. if you want the system to request permission before expanding each archive, replace the 'exec' option with 'ok'.
