Subject: Tar Question



Is there a way to create a tar file and exclude a specific directory that is within the directory you want to tar?

 

For example, I have a directory called /www/ and in that directory is another directory called  /www/test/  and I want to tar up the /www/ directory but  I do not want the tar to include the /www/test/ directory but I do want the tar to include all the other sub-directories within /www/

 

Thanks!

Darryl
