I have an interesting problem, where I am zipping up a large archive
of jpg images. The zip file can be no larger than 2 Gb. If I try to
zip up n number of images, where n can vary a lot, and if the zip file
gets to 2Gb, the zip process fails.
Would there be some way that I could track the .zip file as it is
being zipped, so when it reaches 2 Gb in size, a new zip file could be
created and the zip process could continue? I don't think the split
command will work, because that runs after zip finishes.
Or, is there a way to possibly start another zip file, when the first
one fails, and then somehow force the zip to pick up where it left
off?
Any suggestions/ideas/tips are much appreciated! Thanks!
