how to use 4mc tool for linux fs batch processing and logging about 4mc HOT 2 OPEN

The work mode and syntax should be similar to most of standard compression tools (like e.g. tar and gzip) that can take multiple inputs but then it compress to a single file?

from 4mc.

The main issues were with using a paths and wildcards for input and output operations, and with logging verbose operations to a log file.

`4mz -vz2 /inputdir/inputfiles*.txt /outputdir/* >> logfilename.txt'

Was unable to get custom output directories and unable to get logging working.

Found it a bit light on error checking and created unwanted blank files under some conditions. Overall, didn't feel like a robust tool, got fustrated after several hours of trying to get stdout working.

Can post some examples if helpful.
