Working in an AIX environment, I'm issuing the following tar command and receive errors on sockets.
Question 1. How can I avoid the socket errors?
Question 2. Can I rely on the tar file to contain all files excluding the ones in error?
$ tar -cvf /post_patches.tar /xyz
tar: /xyz/runtime/splSock6511 could not be archived
tar: /xyz/runtime/splSock6507 could not be archived

$ ls -asl spl*
