Hi anyweb,
I'm the backup tool from linux-noob.com and I've got a new backup for you.
The date of the backup is ${DATE}
Apache:
The new file is ${FILE} and has `du -sh $FILE | awk '{print $1}'`
Forums:
The forums backup is now: `du -sh ${BUPDIR}/forums_export.sql | awk '{print $1}'`
Have a nice day,
:)
EOF
cat ${TMP}/backup.txt | mail anyweb@linux-noob.com -s 'New Backup'
rm -f -- ${TMP}/backup.txtshould be ok..
notice the tar command was mashed in the wrong style...
1. the method is use in this fashion:
tar -jcf ARCHIVE --exclude='stuff' DIRS
2. makes it a little easier to read by using * (notice the ' not the " are used!!!!) tar will expand ..
ok.. so i hope thats all good :)
Quote:--exclude dirName
add that to the tar command
* znx slaps hijinks around with a rather large trout
hehe ;)
