WwW=/www EXC=/tmp/exc.$$ cat $EXC <<EOF /www/test EOF
tar -zcfX /tmp/www.tar.gz $EXC -C /$WwW .
You can add anything you need to the exclude list just make sure it's before the EOF marker. Set $WwW to be whatever directory it is that you're trying to tar up.
I have a script that does all this for me that I use in a nightly cron job. If you'd like, email me personally and I'll send it to you.

Is there a way to create a tar file and exclude a specific directory that is
within the directory you want to tar?
For example, I have a directory called /www/ and in that directory is
another directory called /www/test/ and I want to tar up the /www/
directory but I do not want the tar to include the /www/test/ directory but
I do want the tar to include all the other sub-directories within /www/
Thanks!
