Welcome to my long list of pet peeves, "infinite number of"!!
Why say "infinite number of monkeys" when you can just say "infinite monkeys"??

Solaris TAR with Excluded Directories
It's been a long time since I had to use Solaris, and tar is bad enough without the differences between Linux and my previously favorite Unix!
$ tar cfX - /tmp/excludes . | gzip > ~/excluded.tgz
where /tmp/excludes looks like this:
./sub1
./sub2
./sub3
So it's not just a list of what's excluded, it's starting with the dot!
hattip: thank you, My Couple Of Cents!!
