Gzip and tar @ the same time in Solaris...
Hi all,
Anyone knows how to tar and gzip a file at the same time in Solaris 8? This is easy to do under Linux with tar xzvf, but I'm not sure how to pipe the commands under Solaris... TIA. |

(g)zip (-r) package-name file(s). Use -r if you want to include subdirectories as well.

tar -cf package files/directories ;gzip package.tar
By the way, bzip2 compresses much better than gzip. |

 Thanks for the heads up. Yups, thanks for the bzip2 tip as well. I'll use bzip2 when I can, but it isn't installed in the system I'm using

By the way, not all versions of tar add that .tar extension there.
