Red Hat 5 " tar: error exit delayed from previous errors"
I searched in the forums before posting but nothing that was specific to the problem I am experiencing.
I wrote a simple little bash script to create a tar ball of a directory and then copy that tarball to another directory. This is what my script looked like right before I received the error message Quote:
Any advise? |
The problem is with the date format. Tar won't like the spaces.
Try something like Code:

"tar: error exit delayed from previous errors"
tar doesn't quit on the first error it hits. It tries to find as many errors as possible. When you get the error exit delayed message it means that it has found as many errors as it could and now gives up. The error message pertinent to your problem should appear somewhere between the tar command and the error exit delayed message. --------------- Steve Stites |
TODAY=$(date "+%Y%m%d") fixed the issue thanks! Also thanks for the tip about tar reporting errors.
