bash script help, and killall resolved

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello list,
thanks for the info on killall, pkill did the trick. Apparently it was renamed.
I'm trying to set up a script that will tar a file, encrypt it with ccrypt -K pass -e file.tar.gz, and send it via ftp to a server so it can be stored.
I've got the tarring done, though for some reason it's preserving the whole directory structure and puts the file under home/vertigo/moo/db.db rather than just untarring db.db
I'm at a loss, as to how to make it preserve the date through backup though. This is my current script:
tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz ~/moo/db.db 
Because it's storing the time, I need a way to keep the filename in tact when I ccrypt it, and then ftp it.
I'm able to ccrypt, but I am looking for solutions on sending it via ftp, ideas would be welcome there.
I just almost lost a whole db, which is the code for my mud that I"ve been working on the past two months, and it would've cost me a ton of time wasted, so I'm taking extra precautions.

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

This is normal tar behavior. If that's not what you want, then instead
of doing
tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz ~/moo/db.db
do
cd ~/moo
tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz db.db

Just a thought, but why not modify your script to create a directory
using the output of date (like you're doing in your tar command now),
put db.db in that directory, and tar up that new directory, instead of
just db.db. You'd also want to write a script that will remove any
directories with yesterday's date.

I'd suggest installing ncftp, and looking at the man page for
ncftpput(1), it looks like it should do what you want.
