I have a file name as logfiles_tar.tgz. How can I view the contents of the log files present in logfiles_tar.tgz ? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
without decompressing you mean?
What do you want exactly, the content of your archive ( as a catalog)? Which would be
gzcat logfiles_tar.tgz | tar -tvf -
Well, as soon as the logs are generated they get archived at the end of the day. If i want to view a particular log on a specified date? How am I going to achieve it? I could see only the following
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dv cse 137 Nov 1 10:39 logfiles_tar.tgz
I believe all the logs will be going into logfiles_tar.tgz.
Di you try previous command?
Add a pipe and more if there are lots of logs...
Then it is just a question of using another option of tar to extract...
