The exec option (continued)


The %s is the place holder for file name. If AFD picked up more then one file it executes the command for each file in a loop. The %s place holder can only be used 10 times for each exec line.

If the user wants to put all file names at once on the exec command line, just use the * as shown below:

         [options]
         exec tar --remove-files -cf all_files.tar *
