Try to set a cron but getting error tar: Removing leading `/' from member name


Recommended Posts

I am getting an email with this error all the time when I run the cron script bellow this is the error/warning email I am getting :-

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

 

This is the cron I am running :-

 

cd /home/user/access-logs 
rm -f /home/user/accesS_logs.tar.gz
tar -zcvf /home/user/accesS_logs.tar.gz /home/user/access-logs/*
cd /home/user/
mutt -a accesS_logs.tar.gz emailaddress@gmail.com -s "RAW Log Backup" -f /home/user/mail_body < /dev/null

 

I have removed my email address and username for security reasons

 

Any help would be most greatfull as I have been trying to solve this now for the past 10 hours!

 

Thanks all in advance :)
