Hi Michael,

Someting like that:

Find /home -name "*.log" | tar cvf fichname

You can try:

tar -cvf output.tar `find /home -name \*.log`

1. first create your tar file by tar'ing a single file to it; tar cvf /tmp/
2.
for i in $(find /home -name "*.log" -print)
do
tar rvf /tmp/ $i
done

This will append all the log files in /home to the tar file you created in 1.
