This article introduces the knowledge of "how to exclude one or more directories under linux". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

Note: there is a data directory in the / home directory and five directories a, b, c, d and e in the data directory. Now copy all the directories except the e directory in the data directory to the / bak directory.

Method 1: execute the following command under the terminal command line

Cp-R `find / home/data-type d-path / home/data/e-prune-o-print | sed 1d` / bak

# # #

Script implementation

Script storage path / home/osyunwei.sh

Vi / home/osyunwei.sh # edit the script to add the following code

#! / bin/sh

Cp-R `find / home/data-type d-path / home/data/e-prune-o-print | sed 1d` / bak

Chmod + x / home/osyunwei.sh # add script execution permissions

Cd / home # enter the script storage directory

. / osyunwei.sh # execute script

# # #

Method 2: when you use the cp command to copy, you can only exclude one directory from being copied. If you want to exclude two or more directories, you need to use the rsync command to achieve it. See the following example

If you want to exclude a, b, c, and three directories under the / home/data directory, and copy all other directories at the same time, execute the following command

Yum install rsync # install rsync

Rsync-av-exclude data/a-exclude data/b-exclude data/c data/ bak

Note:-- the path after exclude cannot be an absolute path, it must be a relative path, or there will be an error.
