Im facing an issue while extracting the tar file "APP.tar"
root@appdr01 [/appbackup] #tar -xvf APP.tar
While the command's output runs so fast i could see the below message in between
"Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program."
Finally the command comes to an end. When I give ls -latr, it does not show any directories which are extracted from APP.tar
Can any one tell me why im not able to see the directories ?
and see if this works or produces the same error. You also might compare its output to files you have on your system. If you have tarred the files with absolute pathes it will be untarred to absolute pathes too, not the directory which happens to be your $PWD.
TIP: if you want your output formatted pagewise pipe it to either "more" or "pg".
