Tar Question

[Brian D. McGrew]

WwW=/www
EXC=/tmp/exc.$$
cat $EXC <<EOF
/www/test
EOF

tar -zcfX /tmp/www.tar.gz $EXC -C /$WwW .

You can add anything you need to the exclude list just make sure it's 
before the EOF marker.  Set $WwW to be whatever directory it is that 
you're trying to tar up.

I have a script that does all this for me that I use in a nightly cron 
job.  If you'd like, email me personally and I'll send it to you.
