Hi All,

is there any option to tar the files and remove it simultaneously.
Please give me an example or syntax.
thanks in advance.

--remove-files

The man command is your friend...

Code: Select all

[gordon]$ ls
a  b
[gordon]$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gordon gordon 0 2009-05-06 17:14 a
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gordon gordon 0 2009-05-06 17:14 b
[gordon]$ tar cvf out.tar --remove-files a b
a
b
[gordon]$ ls
out.tar
[gordon]$

Gordon.
