No empty dir in tar log
Hi I'm writing a shell for backup the file in my system that are changed after yesterday.
The tar logfile is scanned and every row goes in an oracle database table.
The problem is that when the tar find a directory without file, it puts the directory in the logfile.
My command is:
for DIR in $( cat ${INCLUDE_FILE} )
do
tar -cvzf ${FILE_TAR} ${DIR} --exclude-from=${EXCLUDE_FILE} --after-date="${YESTERDAY}" > ${OUTFILE_OK} 2> ${OUTFILE_KO}
done
Where
INCLUDE_FILE -> file with system dir (every dir have a different tar)
FILE_TAR -> path/of/the/tar.tgz
EXCLUDE_FILE -> file with system dir to exclude from backup
YESTERDAY -> Yesterday date
OUTFILE_OK -> Log
OUTFILE_KO -> Error log
For example the dir /etc/cron.weekly/ doesn't have file changed but this dir goes in the tar log.
Don't show us the documentation, show us the real code (with simplified data if need-be) , i.e.
INCLUDE_FILE="/path/to/include/myFile.h, etc. Not that if you have spaces in your assigned values, you need to surround them in dbl-quotes as in this example. Good luck.– shellter
