[Centos] help with xargs and mv

[James B. Byrne]

Thank you for that clarification.

Now what happens is this:

#cat workmv | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/'{}' ./mqueue/offline
mv: cannot stat `./mqueue/*j17KeeL7025621': No such file or 
directory
mv: cannot stat ... one for each entry in workmv

#
# ll ./mqueue/*j17KeeL7025621
-rw-------	1 root	root		19397	Feb  7 15:41 
./mqueue/dfj17KeeL7025621
-rw-------	1 root	smmsp	1812		Feb  8 13:41 
./mqueue/qfj17KeeL7025621

Do I need to escape the leading * in the workfile?

Regards,
Jim
