hi all,

Which open source program/tool can be used to open or extract the tgz compressed archive file  var/log/* 

Hi,

depends largely on the OS:

- on Windows 7zip

- on any unix-like (MAC, Linux, ...) tar (on the CLI)

Regards

Ulf

Hi Arix,

If you are woring on a UNIX or LINUX servers there is no need for a tool. You can use below command to extract the files.

>tar -xvf <file_name.tgz>

Or you can use winzip to extarct the files.

If this solves your problem, please mark this post as "Accepted Solution" so we can help others too

Kudos are appreciated too

Thanks...

Another qs:

Why I can't copy the tgz files from junos device to my pc over winSCP. Any txt files are okay but .tgz no.... not allowed me to copy, permission deny...what should I do?

Can you please do a "file list detail </path/filename>" on the JUNOS device? Maybe the different files have different permissions?

> file list detail /var/tmp/LastVarLog.tgz
-rw------- 1 xxxxxxxx wheel 104550044 Mar 11 55:13 /var/tmp/LastVarLog.tgz

when generating tgz compress archive file, how to make sure all can open/read /write?

Another qs:

When examining the RSI, what key thing(s) can be looked at and how? Using the ctrl+F or?

Arix, 

Please try

> start shell user root

Enter password

cd /var/tmp

chmod 777 LastVarLog.tgz

Arix, 

Can you share the error screenshot.

Also, are you logged in as root on the Junos ? What class does the user you have belong to ?

Hey Arix, 

I would recommend you use the linux command:    tar  -zxvf  <filename>.tgz
Also, refer this for some faster speed:
