I am having trouble combining the tar and find command. I want to tar and delete all .bak,.Bak,.BAK files. I am using the following command but keep receiving errors. The tar command appears to be receiving a truncated file/path (some of the time, but not always), and trying to procecss the file as two files. Any help on this would be great. The script is as follows ========================================= #! /bin/bash set +x TAR_DIR=/home/tarbackups; FILES_DIR=/home/common; tar --remove-files -cvzpf $TAR_DIR/bak_files_`date +%F`.tar.gz\ `find $FILES_DIR -xdev -type f -iname "*.bak"`; ========================================== The -xdev is to not desend into an external smb-mounted drive to a subdirectory. I have also tried substituting single quotes for the double quotes around the *.bak Here is some error output returned: tar: jobs/ROOF: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: LAYOUTS/RESIDENTIAL/FRASER/219: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: LEWIS: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: CRES.bak: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /home/technical/nfsapc30-my_documents/1999: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: jobs/ROOF: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: LAYOUTS/RESIDENTIAL/FRASER/THODE: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: RES.bak: Cannot stat: No such file or directory Thanks, -- Scott A.
