We can simply make tar as,


touch tartestfile.1@2

tar -cvf test.tar tartestfile.1@2

tar -xvf /tmp/test.tar

IF you want to archieve at ony host and send it another host with extracted then,


host1: setup rhosts file to allow host2
host2: setup rhosts file to allow host1

test example:
host1:

/tmp/testfile1.@
/tmp/testfile2.@

cd /tmp/; tar cvf - testfile*.@ | remsh host2 "cd /tmp/testdir/; tar xfv - "

It will do it.

Note: No delimitation with \ for @ symbol there on files over shell

@ is not normally a special character unless you have bypassed /etc/profile and .profile when you login. Type the command:

echo @

If this does nothing, then type the command:

stty -a

and see if kill=@ which is the old (and very obsolete) default setting. You should see a line like this in your .profile:

stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"

but if you are running on a workstation using Xwindows and started a terminal window such as xterm or dtterm, you bypassed all the 'normal' HP-UX login profiles and stty will report the old default values. You can manually change the values by pasting the above stty setting line into your command line. But you'll continue to have problems in other areas because normal profiles are not being run.

Xwindows has a very complex set of rules about what happens when the desktop runs (VUE or CDE) and what happens when a terminal emulator runs (dtterm, xterm or hpterm). The default is always to ignore /etc/profile and .profile so logins are non-standard compared to a telnet login.

The easiest way to fix this is to tell all the terminal emualtors to perform a true login. This can be done by creating a .Xdefaults file for each user:

echo '*loginShell: true' >> $HOME/.Xdefaults

Note that spelling and capitalization is important. Now when the you run a terminal window, you will see the actions of /etc/profile and .profile rather then a simple prompt. .Xdefaults can be to customize the appearance and other options for all Xwindow programs.

Hi,

you can try the following :

tar cfv oracle.1\@2

This should work
