Hello.

It seems that tar is called with wrong arguments in the script.

There is no --exclude-from argument in Solaris.

unix_collector/unix_collector.sh

Line 777 in b690043

tar --exclude=$OUTPUT_DIR -cvf $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/home/home.tar /home/ --exclude-from $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/oversized_files.txt 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
In macOS, the --exclude-from argument must be given before the path (to be archived).

unix_collector/unix_collector.sh

Line 811 in b690043

tar --exclude=$OUTPUT_DIR -cvf $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/home/home.tar /home/ --exclude-from $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/oversized_files.txt 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
In GNU/Linux, things are more complicated with the --exclude-from argument.

unix_collector/unix_collector.sh

Line 826 in b690043

tar --exclude=$OUTPUT_DIR -cvf $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/home/home.tar /home/ --exclude-from $OUTPUT_DIR/homedir/oversized_files.txt 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
