Free copy for one liner at tonights meeting
I have some copies of Linux Magazine. If you have a
cool one liner to give at the beginning of the meeting,
I have a free copy of Linux Magazine for you. Here's an
example:
tar cf - .| (cd /var/named/; tar xfp -)
This command will copy files from one directory to another
while maintaining permissions and owner/group ownership. It
works across NFS mounts too.
cp -a
works similar to this. The tar command is more bullet proof (IMHO)
