I have a book which has a line like tar -cvf /dev/fd0 'cat backup.list'>backup.log It is supposed to read the file names from a file called backup.list. When I try it it dowsn't work. I tried also using <backup.list and that didn't work either. Any suggestions on how to pipe a file to tar to read input files?
