Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance !!

Actually, I want to list 10 big size files from directory (say /logs) and do the .tar.gz in single attempt on Redhat Linux, AIX and Solaris.

Do you mean to make a .tgz file from 10 files only in a specific directory? Like
tar -cvpzf somefilename.tgz file1 file2 file3 ...

But, By using abovesaid command it will create complete .tgz file for 10 big files. I have to create .tgz file for each one in a single shot.

just do one file, using the example above but with only one file, then put an & symbol, and then type the same thing for the next file, then another & symbol and so on. Easiest way that I can think of.

Hi M4rotku,

Is there any another way for that ?
Can u give me it in command ?

You can do that with a bash script:


#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls ); do
echo item: $i
done


Change the "ls" to search for the files you need.
Change the "echo item: $i" to a tar command.
