HI:

How can i use use gzip to compress and tar to append the other file:

here is is a testcase :


file :test1 test2

:~/testtar # tar -czf  1.tar.gz test1
:~/testtar # tar -rzf 1.tar.gz test2

Could you use tar czf 1.tar.gz test1 test2 ?
 
tar: Cannot update compressed archives
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.

However tar -cf
            tar -rf  can work fine.

I am thinking find a way useing gzip to compress and tar    then and
need to append any time .

Thank you
