Need Tar Ball command to exclude directories

Hi,

 uname -a
SunOS mymac 5.11 11.2 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

I need to tar a folder /tmp/moht but do not want these three folders to be included in the tar file -> savejpg, bmpsave and imgsave

I tried --exclude, -path, -not options but it says bad option

Can you help me with a feasible solution ?

Try gtar, /usr/gnu/bin/tar, wherever gnu tar happens to be on your solaris system, it should have the modern --exclude option.

Resolved !!

Just remember that you'll probably need the modern GNU tar to extract it, too!
