Receiving error when extracting file from tar

[Wrathchild]

I'm creating an automated deployment script and when I untar files to the server I receive an error message saying "...can't update the time..." The file DOES get extracted fine and overwrites the original, I just need to either prevent that message from occuring or be able to handle for that error so my script doesn't stop since it's checking for errors after every command.

thanks

Try using the -m flag. This instructs the tar to use time of extraction as the mod time. The default is to try and preserve the modification time of the files.

Unix *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
