- <para>The <command>gzexe</command> command calls <command>tail</command>
|
|
|
- with options that do not conform to newer versions of the POSIX standard,
|
|
|
- and therefore are not accepted by current versions of Coreutils. Fix this
|
|
|
- problem by issuing the following command:</para>

- <para>The <command>gzexe</command> script has the location of the

|
- <command>gzip</command> binary hard-wired into it. Because the
|
|
|
- location of the binary is changed later, the following command ensures
|
|
|
- that the new location gets placed into the script:</para>
