Just in case ... if writing new scripts, it's advisable to use 'j', which various tar programs are settling on, migrating away from 'y'. Hrm, OpenBSD tar(1) uses -I with a parameter for something else: -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- -I file This is a positional argument which reads the names of files to archive or extract from the given file, one per line. -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- Unfortunately, some quick googling hasn't turned up any evidence to back up my assertion re '-j'. :^( Ah, hold on, FreeBSD 4 box, tar(1) manual page, states: -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- COMPATIBILITY The -y is a FreeBSD localism. The GNU tar maintainer has now choosen = -j as the offical bzip2(1) compression option in GNU tar 1.13.18 and late= r. The -I option is for compatibility with Solaris's tar. -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- --=20 Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons.
