[SOLVED] How to add 1 file in .tar.gz file IN just ONE straight command line RHEL?

Hi Guys,

I know adding 1 file in tar.gz file.

Supposed we have a.txt(a.tar.gz) and b.txt(need to add) file.
The tar and zipped filename is "a.tar.gz" file.

So here's the procedure.

1. gunzip a.tar.gz

output: a.tar

2. tar -rf a.tar b.txt

output: a.tar (change in size)

3. gzip a.tar

That's it!

BUT WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVED IS how can I run that command in one straight line?

Thank you very much.

Use '&&'

Code:

 gunzip a.tar.gz && tar -rf a.tar b.txt &&  gzip a.tar

Using '&&' instead of ';' means each cmd only runs if the preceding one succeeded, otherwise it bails out (safer).
