So, then I have to use NT's check/fix disk utility to fix it. The script produces a file sized ~163Mb. The C disk has 350 Mb of free space and the D disk has 700 Mb. Any suggestions of what the problem is, or leads on what to look for? Could it be a swap space problem? thanks, Leland H. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- #!/bin/sh # # Backup program for 100MB zip disk. # # Usage: backup.sh # Create file name. dateStr="`date '+%d.%m.%Y'`.backup.tar" # Create tar file. cd D:/"System Administration" tar cf $dateStr ../Projects \ ./backup.sh \ C:/WINNT/Profiles/lhovey/"Local Settings"/"Application Data"/Microsoft/Outlook/*.pst # Compress tar file. gzip $dateStr # Obtain compressed file size. sizeStr=`ls -gol $dateStr.gz | cut -d ' ' -f 6` # If zip file is greater than 90MB, split into 90MB subfiles. #if [ $sizeStr -ge 94371840 ] #then # # split -b94371840 $dateStr.gz $dateStr.gz # rm $dateStr.gz #fi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
