More teething in the gateway, my inews ate this, I've changed the filter to change >'s to }'s in column 1. } } I have had a problem of loosing files when using the following find } command for backup (SYSV 2.01.01 on a Tower 32/650): } } cd /appl/lis/lisfil } find . /appl/lodb -cpio /dev/rtp -print } } The files not on my backup, had just been created by the same user } running the backup command, and I know for sure that they were owned } by this user and that there were readable since it was done in two } scripts (they are rather long, so I will not repeat them here), and I } have been running these scripts several times before exactly the } same way. } The only suggestion I have is to change the command line so the output of find is piped to cpio. ie find . /appl/lodb -print |cpio -ovcB >/dev/rtp We have been using this convention for many years without problems. -- Bill Kennedy usenet {att,cs.utexas.edu,pyramid!daver}!ssbn.wlk.com!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
