Basic Commands and Simple Shell Scripts -z This compresses the newly created tar file with gzip. It is also usable for decompression.

[root@rhel-instance
]# cd tmp/
[root@rhel-instance tmp]# rm -rf etc
[root@rhel-instance tmp]# tar -xzf ../etc-backup.tar.gz
[root@rhel-instance tmp]# ls
etc

Now, let’s move onto combine all the commands that we have learned into a powerful way to automate – by creating shell scripts.
