[Gambas-user] Help with SHELL and EXEC

[Olivier Cruilles]

Hello,

Maybe sommethink like that,

cd /var/spool/news; tar cf - ./* |  gzip -c > files.tar.gz ;   echo  
"files.tar.gz" > filelist ; genisoimage -o img.iso -path-list filelist

But if the name of the 'files.tar.gz' doesn't change, you can do it  
before this command one thing.

Olivier.
