Hi,

You can use gzip -r on the dir.

gzip -r /var/adm/crash/crash.0

Regards.

tar cvf - /var/adm/crash/crash.0 | gzip - > crash.tar.gz

If you want to make a zipped file for sending to another location you can use the above command.

Regards.

gzip -r will compress all the files in the dir including all the files in the subdirectories. If you go to /var/adm/crash/crash.0 dir, you will see all the files with .gz extension

If you want to send the compressed files to a different location then you have to use the gzip with tar as above and send the output file to the destination.

Regards.

Hi Again

the gzip -r command will zip the files under the directories.

if you wanna zip the crash.o folder follow the command i stated earlier.

Does gzip help much with compression? I thought the crash images there were already kind of compressed.
Could you please provide some before and after sizes?

cd /var/adm/crash
/var/adm/crash:> tar cvf - ./crash.0 |gzip - > crash.0.tgz
/var/adm/crash:> ll
total 16
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 456 Apr 27 10:01 crash.0.tgz

Rasheed Tamton — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:44:44 GMT

cd /var/adm/crash/
tar cvf - ./crash.0 |gzip - > crash.0.tgz

After cvf, there is hyphen (-) and after gzip also there is hyphen
