I have a cron script that runs tar on a directory in order to clean it up and minimize its size. I run the command:
tar cf Backup_Server.tar.gz --remove-files * but during the tar process I get the errors: tar: /RAID/System/Backup/bin: Cannot rmdir: Directory not empty tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors When I look in /RAID/System/Backup/bin, all that is left are a number of symlinks. Evidently, tar is unable to delete the symlinks prior to attempting the directory delete. If it makes a difference, these symlinks actually point to nothing. In any case, how can I get tar to delete the links and complete the job? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
