For example, if you had a file named "include" with these 3 records /bin/gawk /etc/fstab /etc/resolv.conf This would cause the 3 files to be archived as "included.tar". [rj at mavis ~]$ while read inc ; do echo "including:" $inc ; tar -v -r $inc -f included.tar ; done < include Just to be sure.... [rj at mavis ~]$ tar -tvf included.tar -rwxr-xr-x root/root 320416 2007-03-14 09:48:15 bin/gawk -rw-r--r-- root/root 874 2008-09-23 09:53:40 etc/fstab -rw-r--r-- root/root 135 2008-08-21 21:18:43 etc/resolv.conf [rj at mavis ~]$ The real challenge here is to compile the "include" file correctly.
