Hence, tar cvzf /tmp/my2.tgz /tmp/my --exclude='/tmp/my/aaa.tgz' \ --exclude='/tmp/my/dir/*.tgz' does not work anymore (with/or without --wildcards), but tar cvzf /tmp/my2.tgz --exclude='/tmp/my/aaa.tgz' \ --exclude='/tmp/my/dir/*.tgz' /tmp/my works now, even without the --wildcard option. However, this needs to change all available scrips :-(( Greetings, Jan -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
