OK. I used the following:
tar -cpvzO / --exclude-from=/home/not-file 2>/tmp/tarlog.err | ssh
user@ipaddrs "cat > backup.tgz"
No messages went to the screen. tarlog.err is 4Mb large. Looked at it
for error messages.
NONE! not even the one I was getting before routing stderr.out. I did
a the -l option, but that should not result in no error messages...
So now what?
Confused.
It appears when you tar to STDOUT it redirects the usual STDOUT
messages to STDERR, in addition to the errors, so I guess a separate
error log when tar-ing to STDOUT's out.
[wmcdonald@stella /]$ tar cpvzO /proc/ 1> /tmp/proc.stdout
2>/tmp/proc.stderr
[wmcdonald@stella /]$ file /tmp/proc.*
/tmp/proc.stderr: ASCII text
/tmp/proc.stdout: gzip compressed data, from Unix
[wmcdonald@stella /]$
ah, will try this tomorrow.
Dropping the 'O' option and using - behaves the same...
Is there an advantage of one over the other? Origin note I found had
the '-' and I changed it to 'O'
[wmcdonald@stella /]$ tar cpvz - /proc/ 1> /tmp/proc.stdout
2>/tmp/proc.stderr
[wmcdonald@stella /]$ file /tmp/proc.*
/tmp/proc.stderr: ASCII text
/tmp/proc.stdout: gzip compressed data, from Unix
Will.
